im getting digiweb, and need a wireless router for my laptop and wii

what one [affordable] would u guys recommend?

anyone?

I'd recommend whatever Netgear router is "affordable" to you. Assuming you're using Digiweb's wireless BB, you'll want to get a normal network router, not an ADSL modem/router combo that are often quite misleadingly packaged.

yep digiweb wireless

so where would be cheapest to buy ie.harvey normans ,pc world,etc?

zilog_jones

somewhere online like komplett.ie would be a lot cheaper than real-life shops. Harvey Norman seems to have a very limited range of wireless stuff - mainly onlly Belkin, which I'd avoid like the plague.

Might be some good deals in PC World.

I agree with avoiding like a plague. They only have WEP encryption at the minimum. Unless your are in the middle of nowhere and no chance of some else stealing your bandwidth. I email them about 2 months back about wireless encryption and they said there was no plans for WPA or WPA2. I could not believe that they would mention that. Talk about poor marketing!!
