Re: wireless on NTL - router, hub or access point
No, I would still go for a wireless router, a router includes a wireless access point and is generally cheaper now (e.g. the Linksys WRT54G is cheaper than the WPA54G).
The laptop will be less secure when online as there is no hardware firewall and with the router you can lock the access to a specific mac address, denying anything other than your laptop access to your wireless connection. The router supports WEP and WPA, most accesspoints are WEP only.
