Would this router work with my built in pre installed pci 802.11 b/g adapter WN4201b wireless card, so i wouldn't have to buy another card/adapter for this pc?

Yes it should work.

Keep helping and stuff lads

I'll need to read this cheeky fred when I'm back in York. We only have a single phone line in t'hhouse.

retired_andrea.fife

Single phone line? Why is that a problem?

retired_corzawoodja

Because we don't want wires laying all over the place?

Is that all you can link up your computers to share the internet wirelessly or you can get this. Although i have a wireless setup at home i plan to get that as thick walls are the enemy of me wireless setup.

Hmmm i'll be honest i know nothing about those guys mentioned on the ntl website. The Netgear should be fine, if Kris was about he'd be able to advice you some more.

So yeh the Netgear router should be fine, what you need to decide is how you want your setup to work.

1) Do you want both the pc's to connect wirelessly to the router? If so then you'll need two wireless pci cards;

2) Or do you want one pc connected to the router directly using ethernet cable and the other pc connected wirelessly to the router.

Option 2 would be my recommendation as it's easier for router setup. So basicaly you would have the pc that your your ntl modem is connected to at the moment, to be directly connected to the router.
So things would work like this:

*NTL modem connected to router via ethernet cable;
*router connected to pc1 via ethernet cable;
*then pc2 connected to router wirelessly. </BLOCKQUOTE>

OK, change of plan. 1 pc is gonna be downstairs and the other is gonna be upstairs. Well if thats possible, does that mean I need anything extra? Or will this still work?

Thanks In Advance
