Is this Ntl set-up possible

Sandals

Hi I need to set broadband with Ntl up in my house, I have two new centrino laptops, and a linksy new router that has been reccomended her and a p4 non wireless ready pc, is it possible to set this up without having the cable in the same room as the pc?,

I was told initially that it was, then the technicians decided they would need to install it on my laptop first,

they are all the details I know as i was not at home when they called or throughout the process my dad was.

Thanks for your help.


And can I use it for Ps2 online through any method at all?

Yes, this setup will work without you needing to get a cable point in the same room as the PC. However you will probably need to attach a laptop directly to the wireless router via ethernet, in order to setup the wireless router for the first time and the NTL engineers will need to use this latop to register the mac address and activate the service.

Yes you can use a PS2 online as long as you get the PS2 network adaptor.

Sorry, I missed that part. If NTL give you a wireless router, I believe they will also give you a wrieless USB adaptor for your PC to make it wireless ready.

If they don't you can always add wireless to the PC yourself, either by using a wireless USB adaptor or even better a wireless to ethernet bridge. I highly recommend this model, which I use myself and works extremely well and is much more versatile then a wireless USB adaptor:
