Hi George -
So, that's another piece in the jigsaw! Thanks
My laptop has the following:
Wireless capability
Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection
This seems different to the 802.11b and802.11g, in the below:
the DG834PN wireless modem router is compatible with
802.11b, 802.11g and
SuperGT products and will boost their range and speed.
Will my laptop still be compatible with this modem/router? And how about
the 4 year old PC?
Will there be more up-to-date routers than this, as the website said drivers
for Vista had to be downloaded? -
Andy

| Hi Andy,
|
| When they say "10/100 network ports" the physical socks are
| almost certainly RJ45 types, so no worry there. They will
| talk to your own network cards perfectly OK.
|
| I would not worry too much about the 1000 speed unless you
| are going to be moving vast huge amounts of data about.
| Besides, that speed will only be achieved hard wired anyway.
|
| George.

| Hi George -
|
| It's getting clearer, or so I thought Until I went in search
| of routers!
|
| I hope you don't mind, but I've pasted below something I
| found on the
| Netgear website regarding a modem/router, and would
| apreciate your comments
| on. It seems there are different strengths of router to suit
| the kind of
| building one lives in, and the amount of useage the network
| will get.
|
| It seems from what the below states, that I'll need to buy
| network adapters
| as well?
|
| I'm confused too about connection speeds, they talk about:
|
| . Wireless Data Speed of up to 108 Mbps
| . 4 x 10/100 network ports with auto-sensing technology and
| 1 RJ11 bt port
|
| The ethernet cards in both my PC and Laptop, are 10/100/1000
| fast ethernet,
| where as above, it talks about the router having 4x 10/100
| ports, so
| wouldn't there be a drop off in transfer speed [I probably
| of course don't
| know what I'm talking about here <smile>]
|
| It also says above that there is an RJ11, but no mention of
| an RJ45!
|
| Anyway, here's the full blurb:
|
