Well after about 2 days of research I have finally found this site and
hope that someone out there may be able to part the mists that cloud my
mind.
TOPIC: Wireless network within home to enable wireless broadband
access
My broadband supplier will be ntl so I have worked out that I will need
to ensure that I have an ethernet output when it is installed in a few
days time. I will then need to invest in a wireless cable router which
will be connected to my modem/set top box via ethernet. Am I right so
far???
I have a 3 day old HP Pavilion 3155EA laptop which has both integrated
10/100 LAN Ethernet and Intel® Pro/Wireless 2200 802.11b/g Integrated
Wireless LAN. OS is XP SP2 (laptop spec can be found he
formatting link
Does this mean that I will not need to purchase a seperate PCMIA
network card for the laptop???
Finally, I live in a shared house but will be paying for the broadband
myself. In the event that any of my housemates decide to invest in a
PC/laptop, can anyone recommend a router that will enable me to set MAC
addresses to prevent them using my subscription?
Apologies if this question has been answered before but I have looked
an cannot seem to find the answer myself.
Thanks in advance :-)
