    i was on NTL up until recently and had their netgear wireless router...now i have moved and have o2 mobile broadband. But i cannot now print to my wireless printer....is this o2 mobile broadband modem not wireless?
    What are now my options to print to this printer? Can i buy a wireless router? Upgrade my o2 mobile broadband to wireless(is there such a thing?) or what? I have also lost the USB cable so simply doing it with wires aint gonna work unless i buy a new one. I want to be wireless though......what can i do?

    you have to set up an ad hoc connection on your computer so the printer can connect to that network. you might need an usb cable while setting up the connection for the first time

    If you no longer have the netger then you could buy a wireless router and set up a wireless network the computer should then be able to send the material for printing via the wireless network.

    The o2 broadband will not facilitate printing for you.

    Your O2 modem isn't wireless, it runs on the mobile phone network
