Yes they are easy to install but if you go for a PCI wireless card you will have to open the PC and press it into it's slot ( PCI are better than USB) then install the drivers, the advantage of USB is you don't have to open the case but expect it to be slower than the PCI card ( drivers also need to be installed for USB). All the setup instructions will be with the router and cards and you can always get help here if you have any problems

Thanks for the advice
Was talking to ITdirect and they said I can use a Usb but this is not so good ?
Also how much € should you pay for a router and card ?

Dixons had a good offer on Belkin and car a few weeks ago on a router about 99 euro with a free PCI , the box beside it without the Pci card was 120 ? !

Marx have a special on at the mom I think for a Cnet one with a card also

USB links to the PCI bus anyway as regards information goes inside the computer so not going to be any slower

Now why did I not think of that

Simple yet effective but not helpful
