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:
