You have to have a wireless card in your pc

You are correct that a broadband router will help protect your 1 computer, even though you dont have to have it to use DSL with only one computer, I'd still recommend it for the added safety. Built into the router is a firewall and it will pretty much prevent anyone from attempting to connect to your computer form the outside while still allowing your computer to connect to most anything you want to, like online games, web, email etc. Since you are thinking of wireless in the future and I assume maybe adding another computer maybe, you can go with a wireless broadband router. I personally like Linksys alot, you can get a wireless router for about $70. basically any router currently sold is going to be fine for you. almost all suppor the two common types of wireless, called 802.11B and 802.11G ,, they basically will say on the package.. "B and G" supported or something along those lines. When you get the wireless router, make sure you follow the instructions to secure it, or else you may have your neighbors using your wireless router without you knowing which can be a problem.

have u installed all the software that came the router,\n\nif it is a wireless router i think you need to hard wire it to your pc in the first instance to set it up, when it is set up then activate the wireless option

I went through that when I setup my wireless network at home.  I contacted technical support for my service (SBC Yahoo DSL) and they told me the code is printed on the bottom of the router/modem.  I don't know what service you have, or if you setup the code and then forgot.  Either way, contact your technical support

I am not sure what else should be done. Try asking your question on www.broadbandreports.com in the appropriate forum.

It should look like this ....\n\nInternet cable from Westell Modem --> router\n\n- check your WEP encryption if enabled\n- did you install the drivers and set everything up in the main system?\n- Can the computer see the wireless router (visa versa)

Im assuming you are trying to bring up your router setup. Check your cables if this is the case. A bit more info would help.

if it is saying the network cable is unplugged the u r looking at the lan connection and not the wireless network connection\ni think u r using a router and u can refer the instructions given in the router manual

An router is meant for multible computer in the home not the phones...my base-phone (the one that plugged in to the computer) has a build-in router...there is no other router....Computer>>modem>>Uni-den-VoIP phone.....!!

If the box says 802.11b or 802.11g, and especially when it has the WiFi logo, you're probably going to have an easy time making it work with anything.\n\nIf it says things like "double speed" or "range extender" or "one touch setup" you're going to have an easier time if you buy everything from the same vendor.\n\nWiMax is a new standard that was originally designed for ISPs.  (You get a "wireless" box in your home, but it doesn't move.)  The promise is higher speeds over longer distances than DSL or cable.  There is an upcoming standard (802.16e) that would improve the mobility of this (like a high-speed Ricochet service) but that standard isn't finalized.

Just curious, but did you really sign up for 54Mbs?\nEven the local fiber support in my area is only 30Mbs,\nand copper broadband is more like 6Mbs (and DSL is < 1Mbs).\nI have no experience with fiber, so I don't know if it's\na shared connection or not; however, cable access *is*.\nIt's normal for a cable connection to be multiplexed\nover an entire neighborhood, so you *do* share your\naccess (and you could notice it if you neighbor was\nheavily using his connection).\n\nAside from that, however, if you've set up a wireless\nnet in your house, you should seriously consider \npassword protecting it.  In the config screens on your\nwireless router, notice the configuration for SSID and WEP.\nYou'll have to config your wireless clients too, but\nthat will tend to keep neighbors and random people in\nparked cars from piggy-backing your net.\n\nFinally, again if you're using a wireless network, is\nit possible that you've just got some signal interference?\nDoes the data rate improve if you're physically closer\nto the router?  If your client software has a "signal\nstrength indicator", does it drop down when you notice\nthe slower rate?  If so, you might consider using one\nof the base-station antennas.

You're better off just buying a cheap router (like Netgear). If you daisy chain them - from the port to PC A to PC B, for example, then PC A will have to be on whenever you want to use PC B

A wireless router is your answer; however - be careful when purchasing as there are two types - and you need the one that is compatiable with Telewest Cable; (I know, as I have bought one - thankfully I got the right one first time!)\n\nI got mine from PC World, and the make is Belkin

Live and Learn.  Wireless network gear is dodgy at best.   Go with LinkSys next time. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

If you have a broadband connection, the modem (cable or DSL) probably is a router as well. Even if it has only one jack, if it is a router, all you need then is a hub. Connect both computers to the hub and configure the Internet connection.

What?  Who do you get your broadband from?\n\nYour broadband vendor provides service, and he should not know or care what you have attached to it, it should cost the same.\n\nOf course, if you have them install it, they will charge you for that.   And if you call them up with network problems, they are not interested in troubleshooting your router.

Whichever one you want. Not really any differences. I got a $59.00 one from best buy or somewhere, handles 4 at a time, I only have 1, never a problem yet. I have a linksys unit.
