right if this isnt in the right place im sorry! i have a netgear wired router with 4 ports i hav just got a new laptop and would like to surff internet on new laptop in other rooms is there something that i cane plug into the router so i can use my laptop wirelessly other that usb if that makes any sence to any 1 cheers!
assuming your laptop has a wireless card built in sounds to me like you need to switch your wired router for a wireless model
yeah, i agree. If you have a wireless card in it then get a wireless router. If you have problems with a strong signal where you use it then you can always get a signal extender. only option you have with a wired router (or no wireless card in the laptop) is a very long cat5 ethernet cable directly hooked between the router and laptop.
If you mean a USB wireless card, go for it. Most of the stuff being sold now is on the 802.11n standard, which is more secure than the older "g" stuff, but the g is about half the price of the "n" stuff. Just make sure you enable encryption, etc. on your router or your neighbors will love you for giving them free internet. I strongly recommend getting Dlink products.
cheers 4 the help so far! but what i mean is something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-WiFi-USB-Key-PSP/dp/B000FS9R1U something along these lines anyway
never used the USB type myself so i would read up on them and make sure they do what they should and have a strong signal. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1033098&CatId=369 this one seemed to get good customer feedback as far as wireless routhers i prefer Linksys meself. I have a WRT54GS http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat..._slc.asp?MfrId=509&Nav=|c:369|&Sort=3&Recs=10 and there are some linksys versions. I actually have one of the WUSB54G adapters that came free with my router, although i have never had a use for it yet so i can not rate it. Just use the site i linked you to and read customers reveiws, then you can find and buy it somewhere that ships to you.
got 1 of those d-link usb wireless adapter from a customer that was doa. was part of package deal that came with wireless router. router worked.
