What router to use with clearwire

danois

I have clearwire broadband at the min and my son is getting a laptop for xmas when I rang clearwire they said they have no wifi routers available at the min wont have for months!?! So I want to buy one but have no idea what type will work with clearwire I need the easiest to set up way for my son to be able to get online as well as me being online. Any suggestion thanks a million

Also would it be possible to use this to connect the wii or the xbox online for him 2?
Thanks a mill

:eek: NO! :eek: . At least not before his bedtime.

Get proper broadband like UPC Cable or DSL if you intend to share a connection and do online gaming . Clearwire is for slow browsing and emails .

Any router will work, a Linksys WRT54G for example. Whether Clearwire will be good enough for your needs is another question all together. If it's already poor for Internet browsing, then connecting additional units is only going to make things worse.

Any router with an ethernet WAN port (e.g. one designed for use with a cable modem) should be fine, but as a former Clearwire customer, I seriously doubt you'll be getting much gaming done on that connection.
