I am planning to but a wireless router and wireless Laptop card kit for my Toshiba laptop. My broadband connection at home is connected by the NTL phone company and the cable line currently runs through a modem provided by NTL.

If I buy a router I have noticed thay often have a built in modem. I am guessing I don't need this as I will have to connect the router to the NTL Broadband modem as the cable connection goes directly into it.Currently the patch cable just comes out of the modem and I connect it to my laptop, so can I add a router instead and connect wirelessly?

Thanks.

Hi Nick
I have just gone wireless with NTL. I bought the LINKSYS WRT54GSUK currently at PC world £49.99. It was a piece of cake to install. The wireless router has 4 ports that can be hardwired from it and a wireless facility. I have my PC downstairs hardwired, my daughters PC upstairs wireless and my laptop wireless. its great. You have to connect the laptop to the router with the RJ45 cable initailly to set it up and once up and running just go wireless. When setting up dont put the encryption on until it working properley, then put encryption codes in to keep your network secure. any probs just post on here again. Hope this helps
