any extension cable will be ok. only get one that is long enough for your needs.

I would suggest an Airport. Since its from Apple, you can probally set up yourself without a whole lot of problems. But almost any router will work. And most have the same range. I have a Netgear in my house (which is also 3 stories) and we have never had a problem with picking up the signal. I can even take my computer outside and use it. The only thing that will change is the signal strengh. That depends on what your house is made of. If its brick, you won't get as stong a signal as a house made of wood. But with a broadband connection, it won't be a big enough differnce to matter much. Again, I would just go with the Airport because it's from Apple.

The absolute best cable you can get is one of these - http://www.monstercable.com/productPage.asp?pin=191 .  They are pricey, but you'll forget about the price as soon as you see how great those cables work!

The previous answer is the good one,but if you still don't understand You better call the broadband company that service you, they usualy open 24 hour for technical support, it's better to talk and do it right away cause they will guide you step by step while you're doing it.

as a bt home hub customer(like myself),if you have installed the software that came with the hub you should have a icon called "hub manager"\n         if you use this you will be given a information window which will give you your download amount and also your upload amount\n         by adding both these together you will get your total usage,so in your case it will be 500mb per week so you need to watch what you download,however if you just surf the internet(no downloading,or streaming video,s or radio) you can use 50 hours a week with your usage allowance\n         that works out at over 9 hours a day,so if you just do internet work you should be fine,but if you want to start downloading,why not go option 2 or 3\n        but dont worry,bt will normally allow you to go over a gigabyte or two every now and again but if it becomes regular they may contact you to talk about upgrading to the next option\n        i am on option 3 and have a 40gb usage allowance,but the most i have ever used is 25gb in one month,but i am a keen downloader\n        so keep a eye on your hub manager,and if needed note your amounts down so you dont over use\n         also have you thought about using the talk talk broadband package,its free with their talk package(£20 per month for the talk plan) and you get 8mbit connection speed and a 40gb download usage allowance,not bad for nothing....take a look at http://www.talktalk.co.uk/talktalk/servlet/gben-home-Home,this will give you more info\n        any probs let me know\n                    good luck

If you're not getting strong enough signal to your Wireless USB you might want to look into a 802.11g Range Extender. Because it's a powered unit it has the power to pull signal in from further distances and then repeats it out to the area around it.\nI have one and it works like a charm for extending my network. I've given you links below for the types of devices I'm talking about. You can pick them up at CompUSA stores here in the states and at other stores locally. They run between $80 and $100 USD

You could buy a wireless adapter.  I would recommend a Linksys Wireless G, which can pick up both G and B frequencies.  And I recommend the type that plugs into your USB port.  I would also recommend about 10 or 15 feet of USB extension cable.  This will allow you to move the wireless device around the room or by a window sill in order to find the strongest signal.  Use the install CD first before you do anything.  Then once you plug in the wireless device, it will seek out any signals in your area.  Some may be locked down, but if you find an open signal, that means your neighbor probably believes in sharing.  (Or your neighbor figures it is too much bother to encrypt.)  You may need to make some software adjustments, but without knowing your operating system, this is as far as we can go.  \n\nYou might consider re-naming your computer to something other than your real name, just in case you're the type who would be embarrassed to have your neighbor catch you using their signal.  And make sure you don't have any "shared" folders on your computer that aren't password protected.\n\nAnd if your neighbor is transmitting an "open signal," that means they have given your their IMPLIED PERMISSION to use their signal.  So, you don't need to ASK them for permission.

What???\n\nI get the B-band part. You want Broadband Internet, good choice. Local cable providers usually provide broadband Internet.\n\nBroadband is always on, there is no limit to how much you can use it.

What all the others have said, plus, wireless broadband costs your y-fronts and socks. The cost was so much and service touted as unreliable that I haven't bothered.\nNow, what you can do is get a bluetooth enabled cell phone and bluetooth adapter that plugs into the usb port on your computer.\nWith that arrangement, the cell becomes your modem, and the computer dials through the phone to any dial up service, much cheaper, just not a fast. \nI have a mate that is pushing me in that direction. i have the adapter, now all I have to do is get busy and get the new cellie to handle it.

depends on what sort of services you want? whether high speed unlimited downloads, or limited speed and downloads. if the former go for cable with NTL/Telewest along with their cool phone packages and the tv of course, if the latter get your BT line switched to Talk Talk with carphone warehouse andd get FREE broadband with limited downloads each month.

Your existing broadband connection will be either RJ45 or USB.\nYou will need a free RJ45 socket on each computer, to connect them - either with a single crossover cable, or two patch cables and a switch. \nI'm assuming the OSs are both Windows, and at least 98SE...\nThere is unlikely to be any need to have separate broadband connections for each computer - trust me!

Linksys and Dlink are both good.  You'll want one with a 4-port or more switch included.  Wired is best if you can drill holes and run cat-5 ethernet through the house, especially for gaming.  Wireless can be difficult to run reliably.  "B" band is the same frequency range as your microwave, so your connection  can die if you use it.  If you go wireless, make sure you learn how to secure it so your neighborhood doesn't connect to it :)

All companies you know support wireless broadband. The only thing you should be within the service limit.
