Hi Andy, The wireless links should not really slow down downloads from the internet. I don't know what speed your broadband is, but 2MB seems to be getting normal these days. I don't know what speed your wireless network is going to be on, the 2 main standards are 11MB and 50MB (or thereabouts.) So, unless your wireless connection is very poor indeed then your wireless connection speed will greatly exceed that of your internet connection so it should not bbe a slowing factor. The main area of slowdown on a home network is that of PC to PC. Typically a wired connection to a router will be at 100MB, clearly much faster than the wireless speed mentioned earlier; so in this case PC to PC transfers will be slower on a wireless network. . I hope that all makes sense to you.

Hi there Billy. Just got a Wireless Modem for my wife's Christmas. It's great not having to worry about all that dial-up stuff. When I turn my computer on, it goes on-line. My wife is also delighted as she is now also on-line, upstairs, after having the wireless card fitted. However. Which of us can download an mp3 track the quickest? I'm really not sure but I've been told that if I was used to downloading large files, such as mp3 tracks, the wireless stuff would slow the whole process down. This may be something to investigate Billy before making up your mind. The good thing is, is that my wife can now place her computer anywhere in the house and go on-line. Best wishes.
