    Ok so im having NTL broadband installed in a couple of weeks and once i have it i want to immediately set up a wireless router to get broadband around the house.
    Just wondering if a few people on boards could give me some helpful tips on what Router i should be looking to be getting(probably from ebay)??
    What kind of installation is involved and how tricky is it as i have not done it before?
    And will the laptop pick it up straight away or do i have to change some settings?(yes its wireless enabled)
    I have a few mates who have it but i cant get a straight answer out of them on my questions as it ends up becoming a my Router and Broadband is better and quicker than yours debate as im sure you can imagine.
    many thanks

    Moving to wireless forum.

    And I'd recommend the WRT54GL.

    But Netgear and Dlink also make good routers.

    Just follow the instructions to set up the router, it's not too difficult and they usually do it step by step. I'd set it up without any encryption or anything to make sure it's all working. Then go back and turn on the encyption to stop random people using your broadband.

    Read the FAQ's sticked at the top of forum for more info.

    If you're ucky, NTL might provide a wireless router. Some people have managed to get one by having the PC at the far end of the house form the cable point - it's cheaper for NTL to give you a wireless router than to have the installer run cable!
