OK this is my situation:<br /><br />This coming Friday I will be getting Telewest broadband installed in my house, along with my PC there are 3 other PC's and 1 Laptop, making a total of 5 all using Windows. We are hoping to set up a wired/wireless network after the broadband arrives so we can all use the internet at the same time (the broadband connection by the way is 750). I am told that the Telewest modem is ethernet compatible which apparently is a good thing and means I dont have to buy a router + a new modem. So from what Ive gathered on my own it would seem what I need is a DSL Wireless Router along with wireless cards for each PC that wants to go wireless (is this correct?). The situation as it stands at the minute is that 2 PC's will be wired and 3 will be wireless and the only thing we really want the network for is so we can all access the internet at the same time- exchanging files and playing network games is not important.<br /><br />Looking online I've found these 2 routers which would seem to suit my needs:<br /><br />the Netgear MR814 802.11b ?48.99 from simply computers<br />and the Netgear WGR614 802.11g ?58.99 from BT<br /><br />My questions then are,<br /><br />1. Are these routers suitable for setting up a network between 4 PC's and a Laptop?<br /><br />2. Are either of them better for what I will be using it?<br /><br />3. Is a Network difficult to set up with no experience of such things?<br /><br />and lastly,<br /><br />4. How do I go about checking if my PC came with a network card? Its a Dimension 4700 from Dell but it doesn't seem to mention whether it has it or not in their product specs.<br /><br />Any help would be greatl;y appreciated as Im getting a bit stressed from all the conflicting information store people are giving out! :o :
