hi im thinking of setting up a wifi network in my home for my ppc, laptop and desktop pc. what is a good but chep router to by that will work everything
I just got a Linksys Wireless ADSL Modem and Router 4 Port 802.11g (router/modem etc in one box) - check out http://www.dabs.com/uk/productView.htm?quicklinx=2Z9M for more info.
Linksys seem pretty good for all sorts of gear, but also Belkin and Netgear.
I'm running a LinkSys WAP11 2.8, connect to a US Robotics 9003 ADSL router. Works fantastically. Using Belkin 802.11b cards in my PCs - they're cheap and work well, although they are based on a RealTek chipset with dodgy Linux support.
Just watch out for the Windows XP WPA update - I had big problems with it breaking DHCP :-(

Agree with Mostly Harmless on this non-critical update. Caused headaches all around. DHCP was major issue, but others. M$ did follow up with something in Knowledge Base that helped resolve config., but after the fact for me.
Lesson learned: Don't apply a M$ upgrade for several weeks and then only if you need it!! Let other users work out the problems.
ChrisDevices Used: Nokia 3650 (v3.16), D-Link DBT-120 - Revision B3 (Widcomm 1.4.2.10a) & SE HBH-35 Headset.
