Well after having unlimited 56k dial-up access with ntl for the last 5 years I've decided to join the broadband generation. It was a bit of a no-brainer really... £12-49 pcm for unlimited 56k dial-up access OR ntl's new offer of £15-99 pcm for their 300k service.
Given that my main PC at home is a laptop, I didn't want wires trailing all over the place so I was contemplating getting a wireless router plus a wireless card for my laptop. Would I be correcting in thinking that the set-up would be as follows?
NTL in coming cable -> NTL Cable Modem (with ethernet port) -> Wireless Router -> My laptop + any other computers + PS2 (maybe
)
Now I realise that cable equipment and ADSL equipment (e.g. modems, routers, etc.) are different and with that in mind would the following be suitable for my requirements?
54M Router & USB Adapator - £119.99 from Maplin
The blokey comes on Nov 6 to do the installation, I'd like to have the kit when he turns up but also I obviously don't want to spend 'hard-earned' on the wrong kit.
TIA,
S.
