    Hi all
    I currently connect to the internet with my phone line using a wired modem provided by vodafone. I really need to go wireless to connect my new laptop so I'm looking for a new router. If I purchase a new wireless router do I need to connect my current wired modem to the wireless router or is it possible to remove the modem completely and just use the router. i know that vodafone offer their own wireless modem but its somewhat expensive for existing customers and i'm not sure how good the wireless signal is.

    Dave.

    Connect your current modem to a wireless router, that'll send your internet around the house. Can also keep your main computer wired into a slot on the router :)

    If you buy a new wireless router to replace your curret router youll have to get the WAN settings from vodafone. If you buy a wireless AP it will have to be connected to your current one with an ethernet cable, not forgeting to set up the security settings ;-)
