Wireless Network Equipment

[bodhi]

Hi,

What needs to be done to set up a wireless network? Its gonna be telewest. Do i just need to order the broadband service from them and get a wireless 802.11g router with built in ADSL modem and a 802.11g wifi card for the computer and bobs your uncle?

Bodhi.

Hi Bodhi,

Telewest is cable broadband not ADSL, the setup comes with a modem, what you then need to get is a wireless cable router and a wifi card.
You just plug the supplied modem into the back of the router and off you go!

Forgot to mention, have a look at the Cable Modem Forum website, it has a lot of useful info about routers etc and and a specific thread for Telewest users:

Also have a look at Broadbandbuyer, again loads of useful info on what equipment to choose, including a Wizard to help workout what hardware you need:
