I'm in UK, and just moved house. The internet is now provided for by sky, as part of a package with the TV, and they supplied us with a modem/router all in one unit. I just got a PCI wireless card, and installed it, but when I scan for networks, the sky network has a very weak signal. I tried to connect anyway, and entered the WEP key, and it is now set on "automatic" (Which is what I want), but won't connect. I suspect this is because of the weak signal (Even though it has allowed me to enter, and have verified, the WEP key (So some data must have been sent right? however small that may be)
Anyway, I still have a Belkin wireless N router that I was using in my old house, which has a much better wireless range. However, it doesn't have a modem. Now what I'm wondering, is if I can use the modem from the Sky router/modem unit, with the Belkin router. (The damn Sky unit doesn't even have an antenna.)
My wireless card is 108Mbps TP-Link (I can give model if needed), and the Belkin router is this.
I also thought whether it was worth getting a cheap standalone modem, hooking it up with the Belkin and scrapping the Sky unit, but I'm pretty bad with networks and stuff, and I'm not sure if it has to be a Sky modem?
Can anyone help?
