| 376021 | 2005-07-27 09:20:00 | I am looking at setting up a home network in my apartment. There are four computers in here. Two are laptops with built in WiFi. The other two are older desktop PCs. Two of the computers belong to other people. The phone socket is in one of the other rooms. In between that room and this living room is a wall. Would the best solution be to get a device that uses ADSL to connect to the Internet and then wirelessly communicates the data with the computers? This device should have firewall security, WEP etc. Which products would be good for this job? Can I get this device for about $100? Thanks in advance. |

I'd just to further emphasise, you must ensure security is at the highest setting you can get seeing as you say this is for an apartment, which, there will most likely be other households within your wireless range, that are also on a wireless connection. | techie (7177) | ||
