I am just after getting digiweb broadband into my student house at UL!!! Now what I want to do is get a wireless router so that I can split the connection between up to 4 laptops and so that the internet is available in the bedrooms, kitchen etc. Now the house isnt very big so I dont think Ill need a very powerfull wireless router to spread the Internet over the whole house. But I am fairly new to this whole wireless malarchy so Iv a couple of questions:

When I get the router does it replace the modem I got from digiweb or plug into it?

And most importantly have you any suggestions of a router that would be suitable I dont want to spend too much on it, just something cheap and chearfull (im guessing Komplett or Ebay would be the best place to go)

Any help you give will be greatly appreciated!!!

Tbh, I think PMT's thread is pretty clear on what you need. Does every laptop have a wireless card?

No i think 2 of the girls in the house will have to invest in a wireless card. Im guessing they will do fine with a cheap 'g' one off ebay

Plug cable from Digiweb modem to wireless router.

Make sure you set up security on it, dont want anyone stealing off you!

Digiweb supply Wireless broadband and they supply DSL. If you've got Digiweb Metro or Digiweb Wireless, no, you won't be replacing the equipment they supply.

If you've got Digiweb DSL you could replace the modem/roter that they supply - it'll ony cost you a few euro extra, but it'll be a neater setup (only one power supply) and at some point you might be able to offload the gear that you got from Digiweb (I don't know if it's yours, or they only let you borrow it).

Komplett has a bundle of a DSL Modem/router and USB wifi adapter at the moment for €98.

You should not get a DSL modem as this type of modem is for use when you have your broadband through your phone line. what you are looking for is a Cable Wireless Modem. I know that PC World do a Belkin Wireless modes, that will connect to your modem supplied, it is approximetally €70.00 this will have 4 network points on it as well as the wireless. When setting it up. connect it following the instructions given in the box. when you are configuring the Security, do not use WEP Encryption as this will cause you no end of grief, use WPA excryption.
