| 729540 | 2008-12-16 01:32:00 | I have hooked up to Scorch with is fantastic by the way. Now want to hook up wirelessly inside the house. The scorch guys suggested going to a PC shop and asking for a non-adsl router. Whats the difference between the two and how can I tell, (appart from the obvious, name on the box). Thought about looking on trademe but what do I look for ? Any help greatly appreciated. NT |

| 729542 | 2008-12-16 01:40:00 | Look for a wireless router rather than an adsl wireless router. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 729543 | 2008-12-16 01:46:00 | Altho if youre going to get a separate modem and wireless router. Its not that easy, to get the 2 to talk to each other. Just read some of the threads in here |

| 729544 | 2008-12-16 01:57:00 | Sorry Guys probably didn't explain myself very well, I have a sat dish outside, cable coming into the house, cable going into network port on back of PC. Now want to be able to connect laptop and smartphone to internet wirelessly. Guys at Scorch said that I need a wireless router 'not ADSL'. They said shop around...tell them it is for Scorch sat broadband and not to give you an ADSL, if they don't know what you are talking about go to another shop. Wanted to have a look at prices on Trademe but don't know what to look for...does that explain it a bit better? NT |

| 729545 | 2008-12-16 02:01:00 | I know what you're on about! :p Any wireless router with a 4 port switch will be fine. Asus, Linksys, Cnet, TP-Link, Dynalink, all are acceptable brands. Have a look around, then post links to whatever it is you're looking at we can tell you if its the right thing. :) |

| 729546 | 2008-12-16 02:04:00 | Couldn't you get a USB wireless adapter, if it acted as an access point as well?? It'd probably be a lot cheaper than a wireless router |
