[access-uk] Re: ADSL modem/wireless router

Hi Marie,

Yes, what you propose is certainly possible. I'm not the most knowledgeable on networking though I'm sure either George or Andrew will offer more detailed advice. Upon their recommendations, I went for the Draytech Vigor wireless router. It's certainly not the cheapest but well worth the money and you can set it up via the web interface. The router is about £150 inc VAT and delivery. You will get one standard network cable with it but you'll need to buy an additional one if you're using two desktops on it unless of course you want to connect the desktops wirelessly?

Anyway, once it's set up with the ISP details, you never need to touch it!

Subject: [access-uk] ADSL modem/wireless router


At last ADSL is available round here.
At present our 2 pcs are networked via an RJ45 cable connected to the 2 identical motherboard integrated network facility, we have an external modem. My pc operates on win XP SP2 and Dave's on Win ME.
Is a wireless network including shared ADSL MODEM with the 2 pcs possible with this set up? If so, what do we need to buy? I've looked at the sites of the most popular service providers but they don't talk a lot about networked systems and when they do, they give everything fancy names without giving any definition.

Thanks in advance to those who will make the time to help.

Cheers now,

Marie

p.s. If other options are available allowing the 2 pcs to use the modem independently, would like to know of those as well in case we can't go wireless or the hardware is not available to buy in these backwaters.
