Wireless ?

[carl7]

Hello
I have a standard desktop pc connected to broadband. I would like to move my pc but it needs to be near the phone socket to connect the modem.Is it possible to set it up with a router or something to make it wireless ?
If it is possible what kind of equipment do i need and how easy is it to set up ?

Thanks for your help

Hello.

Perfectly possible to make your pc wireless - and easy to do.

You will need a router - Linksys or Belkin are my preferences - and if your pc is not already wi-fi enabled, you can either by a card that fits inside your pc or a dongle that connects to a usb port. The card is the best - and very easy to fit.

You can buy a set - a router with usb dongle - which guarantees compatability.

This for cable (NTL, Telewest) broadband:

And this for any other type of broadband:

These are just examples of the sort of thing you need to consider buying.
