Hi everyone. I'm getting another PC, and I want to have the new one and this one on the same internet connection. I have cable internet. My modem is a SURFBoard SB3100D. I'd like to have the network wireless. What all do I need so they can be on one connection, just the wireless router, or something else?

Is something like that all I need? Thanks.

Yes, you'll just need a wireless DSL/cable router and wireless network cards for the computers. Make sure their all the same brand and support the same specs (802.11b or 802.11a)


Hope this helps :)

It all depends on whether you want to open up your computers or not,if not then you just need a couple of adaptors like the Linksys WUSB11, they are a not cheap (about £144 the pair) and are easy to set up. Note they are USB.

Um...Could you kindly put your prices in both US Dollars $$$ and Sterling. as I think most people are from the USA here.
Plus wireless is a little cheaper in the USA.
