| 651591 | 2008-03-22 09:56:00 | Hi People :banana I am planning to purchase a wireless modem. Am I able to plug my router into this or do I have to purchase a wireless router aswell? The modem must have QoS. Will look at any price range. Thanks. |

| 651592 | 2008-03-22 17:30:00 | Probably be better if u brought a wireless modem / router in one. That supports QOS |

| 651593 | 2008-03-22 19:57:00 | Any particular brand/model? What is the difference between ADSL and a standard Modem? Also, this will be for 3 computers. |

| 651594 | 2008-03-22 19:59:00 | Nope, the one I use here supports QOS tho (Dlink G604T). There maybe others. But this one hasnt failed or stuffed on me yet (altho I dont use QOS, but it does support it). Its ADSL2+, has 4 ethernet ports, and supports wireless (up to G that is), as well. |

| 651595 | 2008-03-22 20:07:00 | So this will work for 3 computers? What do you mean by "G"? | Fireranger19 (13106) | ||
| 651596 | 2008-03-22 20:10:00 | Wireless G. Yup its got 4 ports so 4 pc's (the main one plugs into the back), and 3 networked PC's. As well as the wireless. So the other other computers can connect, with either ethernet or use wireless adapters |

| 651597 | 2008-03-22 20:37:00 | I recommend Linksys, only brand I will buy for my networking :thumbs: You can get a 4 port wireless ADSL router/modem such as the Linksys WAG200G (www-nz.linksys.com) and that will do everything, QOS, wireless B and G (wireless standards) and you can also plug your current router in to act as a switch/hub to allow even more Ethernet ports. |

| 651598 | 2008-03-22 20:37:00 | Right. So a Main PC and 3 others can fit into the back, while any others can connect wirelessly . Is there a certain place to get them? |
Fireranger19 (13106) | ||
| 651599 | 2008-03-22 20:56:00 | Any computer shop, or even Dick Smith may sell them . Or get a Linksys, like what CB posted . Yup the main PC's ethernet plugs into the back, along with up to 3 other PC's by ethernet . I spose it depends on how much you want to spend . The one I've got is similar to this ( . dse . co . nz/cgi-bin/dse . storefront/47e5727200d332622740c0a87f3306dc/Product/View/XH6221" target="_blank">www . dse . co . nz) Altho, mine doesnt stand up like that, it sits flat on something (with the rubber feet on the bottom of it), but it wasn't that dear either . |
