Right, so I have a 'Speedtouch Connection' internet set-up which is broadband in the fact that rather than being instantly connected to internet, you just click the icon and you are connected.

I want to get wireless for Xmas but am not too clued up on the whole set-up. I wanna be able to use the internet on my laptop and also to be able to play a few wii games online.

Am i right in thinking that all i need to do is by a wireless router - the kind that pc world are selling for around £40?

Thanks in advance

Tried the wireless thread?

The couple of times I've used that thread it just seems that there's loads of questions and no answers.

You can buy a wireless router but you'll need to know the connection settings.

I'm assuming you're with Tiscali (as they love their speedtouch modems) and the settings are here http://www.tiscali.co.uk/help/broadb..._settings.html

i posted the same question in the internet wireless thread this morning....no replies.

Thanks mkus, yes it is with tiscali now you mention it. that link will be very helpful. cheers

so what would be my next step. take this info into pc world (for example), tell them what i want the router for and they can match a wireless router to my requirements and the tiscali specification?

Yes, but I would avoid PC World if I were you. People in this thread will be able to recommend a router for you which can be bought of the Internets cheaper than PCW.

that would be amazing if anyone could recommend me one!?!?......

ADSL wireless routers, linksys or netgear will do.

Read the reviews of each router.
