Broadband Hardware Question
View this Thread in Original format
goose_wh
I have one machine downstairs, the upstairs in my room. When i get broadband i want them both connected to it, but with wireless networking as i dont want cables running all through my house.
I want the router to work independently of the 2 computers (that is i can switch one or both the computers off and the connection wont fall over because part of the network is unavailbale).

Can anyone recommend a suitable hardware setup for this. Im running 2000 Pro on both machines, & have no wireless network cards yet. Oh and i want to do it as cheaply as possible.... Im a student.

Thanks.
Will.

you will need a wireless router, and 2 pci wireless cards then.

something like this is a cheap router - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...oduct_uid=51436 (in case link doesnt work, www.ebuyer.com quick find code is 51436)

pci wireless cards are a bit cheaper - something like this - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...oduct_uid=51332 (quick find code - 51332)

seting it up should be relativley simple, just a case of reading the manual when it comes to seting up the router.

alternivley check to see if your isp offer and special offers on wireless netoworking hardware
