Dsl Vs Cable Internet





DSL Feedback: Here’s an easy 4 step guide to setting up a home wifi network:
DSL Feedback: No, all you need is a cheap linksys wireless router unless either of your pcs isnt wireless ready. I would keep one of them hardwired tho. Its far easier to rectify problems with one pc wired directly to the router
DSL Feedback: With magic my boy, with magic
DSL Feedback: vista
control panel
network and sharing centre
left pane
set up a connection or network
choose one and follow on screen instructions
xp
network connection
left-pane set up a network
you will get options to connect witlessly or through ethernet ports
if you go wireless you will need the key under the wifi router
DSL Feedback: A wireless Router will permit easy internet sharing and establish a local area network to share files and printers. A wirelss adapter would be too limiting.
Wired is always better than Wireless, so one computer should be close to the router, so go WIRED.
Consider this one:
LINKSYS WRT54G2 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless-G Broadband Router – $39.99
If you need a wireless adapter, go with this one:
LINKSYS WUSB54GC IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128-Bit WEP, WPA – $39.99
Good luck
