Hi,
My parents want to buy a laptop, so im thinking about getting a wireless router, a pci wireless card for my computer and a PCMCIA card for the laptop.

Can anyon reccomend a Wireless router that has a ASDL modem built in (I dont want to use my current one, its really really bad)

A good quality PCI Card

A good quality PCMCIA Card.

Thanks!

Would i need to use netgear wireless cards? I found a deal, it included The Router with Modem, PCI Wireless card and the PCMCIA Card. £106 Inc delivery. Does this seem like a good deal?

same brand is not required for wireless, as long as the same specification is used (b, g, a)

Is there not wireless reciever already in the laptop? Most tend to come with them included now.

Im not sure about your dsl company, but with ours we can only use the Actiontec modems, anything else doesnt work. Check with your ISP and make sure thats its compatible.

Kazuki: No, its quite an old laptop from ebay, they just want it for internet use, and to use on Skype.

geoff5093: Yes, it should be compatible as they offer a Wireless Rouer/Modem but its around £80, and its the same DSL Modem as the Router i have now, which overheats, and is very unreliable. So im going with a whole new Setup.

lol whats with all that fast hardware... and then the 6600gt? lol... i woulda spent less on a case, less on a cpu/still overclocked it.. and gotten a bettter video card. lol

A 6600GT is good enough for me at the moment, I dont play games that often anyway. I was thinking of getting a 6800, but there was a £80 difference between the 6600GT and the 6800. Any I wouldnt spend less on the case, It RULES! (Well, the tsunami does acually, but mine is the little bother. Aint that right dragon??) (He'll understand)
