Or, for £100, you could get the LinkSys wireless access point / router and be ready for whatever eventuality.
ooh, why didn't I think of that? Could I use that for both 802.11g
wireless
and a normal ADSL line? Now that IS a good idea... <<<
Is that a 'g' device or just a 'b'? In any case it doesn't include an
ADSL
modem.
How does a wireless service arrive at your house? If it's simply a local transmission point you only need wireless adapters in each of your
machines;
no need for a WAP of your own. If you have to retransmit you need
something
more than a regular access point, surely?
The signal will be transmitted from somewhere in my town, and with 4 computers in my house using the connection I don't wnat to be buying a wireless adapter for every machine if I can use my existing LAN.
What I need is a device that: -Will connect my 4 computer LAN (2 XP, 1 XP/Linux dual boot and a Linux Box) to ADSL - Will also connect my LAN to a 802.11g WiFi internet service in the future
That way I don't have to buy two lots of hardware.
Anyone know of a device that can definately do all of these things and can be used with Linux??
