Hello,
I have used a belkin router with 2 computers both with wireless connections
for the last 18 months. The only problem I have had is that after a short
power cut the router needed resetting and I had to do it manually, but
others may have other experiences.
Best wishes, Tony Pearce
Currently my main BT socket is in a room downstairs at one end of the house with several additional extension sockets in upstairs rooms mainly at the opposite end of the house. It is one of the latter which I use for dial up connections to both of my computers. If switching to broadband I would be quite happpy to have cable connections from a router connected to the extension socket but I have been told several times that it is unwise to use an extension socket for the purpose.
Reading the current thread led me to consider the possibility of having the router etc. downstairs and connecting both computers to it wirelessly. However I was a little concerned by the following sentence in one of George´s messages -
"Many reasons, not least being that wireless can occasionally suffer breakdown due to all manner of reasons."
I wonder whether relying entirely on wireless connection to a router at the other end of the house could lead me to wish that I was back on dial up!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Douglas
