Hi, just bought and awaiting delivery of my first
laptop. My mate has offered me a router which
he says is the right one for my cable broadband.
Its a Buffalo WBR-G54. My knowledge in this area
is sparse. I did a search and it appears to
date from about 2003 when the 'G' standard for
Wi Fi was in its infancy. My question is this.
Will it need new drivers or firmware etc and
will it give me similar performance as say a
Belkin or Netgear router that I can buy for
under £30 on Amazon? Some of the forums and
reviews from 2003 are contradictory but several
suggest it is not easy to set up and configure.
(it will be a first for me but I can read
a manual and fingers crossed understand most of
the jargon)
Thanks for any input and opinion.
