    Ok, are you able to get fully USB Wireless routers? All the routers i see are Ethernet routers and i have a USB modem and no ethernet card in my comp.

    Most routers let you use USB or ethernet or both (for two computers or more)

    Oh right, got a US Robotics one last week but had to bring it back as it had only Ethernet cable points and no USB. Will have a look then. Thx.

    USB generally isn't used for networking. Your best bet is to pick up an ethernet network card for €15.

    Any examples? I've never seen a wireless router that took a USB connection.

    EDIT: Actually that Eircom one probably does. But USB isn't the norm for wireless routers
