WTB wireless router and card combo

[buddha]

Hey everyone,

My cuz is looking for a wireless router(B or G) and a wireless card. He needs this for his notebook... if that makes a difference. The ones in the store are too expensive, and I bought mine on ebay for $40. So he's looking to spend arouond the same or maybe alittle more. If you have one to offer please send me the info and pics to [email protected] or pm me.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Great find! I will probably pick it up or order online tomorrow. Anyone else have this? how well does it work?

Works pretty well, bought one today, it wasnt too bad to set up and the key is easy to install. range is decent but setting up WEP can be a bitch if you dont know what you are doing

Well i had my modem in the basement and tried the signal on the second floor and it was weak. It seems fine if you are going just up a floor or in the same room.

EDIT: I just returned the Hawking router and USB Adaptor. It worked fine for one floor but anything more, it was unreasonably weak.

can get a smc g router and wireless card in a bundle for 69.99 at compusmart

i might get the combo from compusmart.

Question: I have a shaw modem hooked up to my comp in my room thru a cable outlet. I need internet for my dads comp and rather than going thru a router, i want to get a second modem cuz he has a cable outlet right next to his comp. Can i have 2 modems at the same time.
Would this direct cable connection be better than a router/card setup?

thnx

i would go with a router set up toonnect both the computers to the internet. IF you decided in getting another modem you would have to buy the modem ($60) which is the same price of a router and probably would have to get another subscription to shaw so wahtever that is per month. Router would make the most sense in a situation like this.
