Wireless
Instead of filling Lukes thread full of shit i thought to start a new thread would be better.
Anyway, i have had this new laptop for about 2-3 weeks now and want to make it wireless so i can use it over the house. My question is.. What exactly do i need to buy, i dont want the most expensive stuff, just whatever i need to do the job. Many thanks on any help. |
Sorry for not getting back to you mate via PM, been busy.
Right... Who is your cable provided? |
Shitty 'Virgin Media' mate.
|
I got my wireless stuff from http://www.linksys.co.uk/
|
Thanks for the link, but i don't really know what i'm buying, i'll wait for Luke to reply... :p

Right mate, basically because you are on cable you will need a Wireless Router (make sure it ISN'T the ADSL one). It's the one for a cable broadband you need - they are around £40 - £50. I have just bought a Belkin one for £39.99 from PCWorld and the Netgear one is £50 - personally I would get the Netgear for ease of use as the Belkin seems a bit complicated. When you get that, you need to link the wireless router with your cable modem. Have you got a computer too? ALL instructions of what to do are on the CD, so it will be pretty easy to follow I think. Make sure you make it secure though....anymore help, just PM me mate. |
Is you laptop already wireless.......if so all u need is http://www.linksys.co.uk/acatalog/WAP54G.html. Thats all i got and i have vigin media n all
|
Luke all together there is 4 computers, and my laptop in the house, i only want the laptop to be wireless, doing this wont mess around with the other PC's internets will it, and will i need to set it up with the 'main' comupter where all the router etc is connected atm?
Does the wireless router replace my current one? |

it goes along side the modem

Could someone get links to the wireless router i need please. do i need anything for laptop?
|
Linkage
That's all you need mate, that one is capable of what you will just use internet for. I can't find the Netgear one. You won't need anything else... |
Just looked for 'Wireless' on argos, and the netgear ones are like over £100 so i think i'll go with that one you've showed me.
Cheers Luke, repped. EDIT: Balls won't let me rep you. |
i have a netgear router and cannot fault it. the instruction are so easy it is impossible to go wrong it practicly doesit for you
|
I might go to PC world and get a NetGear one if they are £50, in Argos they are like £99.99 lol...
Will have a look tomorrow if i have time. |
Adsl Router, and If your laptop hasnt got a wireless card/ wireless dongle, get one as well. This is what you need.
