Hi, we are thinking of buying a wireless router to connect 2 pcs to the internet. Im a bit of a dumbo where pc's are concerned so this may sound daft. The router has a built in modem and also a built in firewall. We already have a firewall on our pc, so should we uninstall it? Also if we do have to uninstall it should we do it before or after installing the router. thanks :)
oh also, the router comes with something called a microfilter, there is only one in the pack, do we need one of these for each pc or is it nothing to do with that? (We have 3 asdl filters, one in the socket we use for internet, one in the phone socket, and one in the socket we use for sky)
You need a microfilter for each telephone point in the house. These split the ADSL signal from the normal voice signal so stops them interfering with each other.
Hi OBonio, thanks. I imagined that would be the case, so do we use these instead of the asdl filters or as well as? Sorry to be a pain, I am a real novice when it comes to pc's
