I hope you guys can help me out here as I'm a little confused as to what
wireless router I should buy.
I'm trying to set up a home wireless network in an apartment. The apartment
is basically a rectangle measuring 30 m x 15 m so distance is never going
to be a particular problem.
The network will consist of the main PC located in a small office room (the
router will also go in here); a single workstation located in the lounge
which is next door to the office and a pda (XDA2i). I want to be able to
share audio (cd's, mp3's); multimedia files (dvd's, avi's); and the
internet between the main pc and the workstation. The only thing I need the
xda2i to be able to do is browse the internet.
The workstation is already fitted with a Belkin F5D6001 wireless network
card, which I wish to re-use if at all possible. The xda2i comes pre-fitted
with wireless lan. The main PC does not have a network card installed. I
connect to the internet (2.2 G line) via an external zoom usb adsl
modem.
The main pc is running windows xp pro and the workstation runs win 98 se
but I dont have a problem changing operating systems if necessary. Rather
not but if it's necessary then so be it.
Price is a factor as I would rather not spend a fortune but obviously want
the system to work properly. Is it as simple as going for something fast
i.e. 125 MBPS. and if so can anyone recommend a particular router as the
sales gumpf is mostly mis-leading regarding speeds i.e. many are advertised
as 125 MBPS but when you get inside the info they are in fact 54 MBPS
