Hey everybody,
Im in the process of going from wired internet to wireless internet throughout my home. Right now I have AT&T and i have I believe the basic plan, 20 bucks a month and only about 768 KB/s down and im upgrading to the one that gives you 3 MB/s down which is 30 bucks a month.
Now, here's where I need help. Since im going wirless, I know i'll need a new router and modem, so what do I get?
I want something pretty good as im going to be setting up 3 desktops (2 upstairs, 1 downstairs) and one laptop that will be upstairs, downstairs and in the back yard. I know thats going to make for a lot of internet traffic as 2 will be being used at almost all times, so I want something that can handle all of that.
So my questions are:
1. Which modem?
2. Which router?
3. Which wireless network adapters for the 3 desktops?
4. What do I do to connect the laptop to the internet wirelessly?
I might have more questions later, but those are the main ones i need help with right now.
BTW, im located in Garden Grove California, so I have a Frys electronics and a Best Buy nearby. I'm also very open to purchasing from newegg as I have dealt with them a couple times and really like it.
All help, suggestions, tips, hints and whatever else would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
-Mike
