Hi, got my broadband modem and STB all hooked up last week. However, the engineer couldn't connect the modem in the same room as my PC (tiling issues on the wall). So, now I need to hook up the modem downstairs up to the PC upstairs.

For this I need a wireless router. I'm totally new to this, so I'd like to get the advice of people here before spending money on one. I haven't got any spare USB slots free on my PC, so I've decided to go for a PCI/router combination.

I was wondering whether the item available here

will be good enough to do the job. I'm on 2mb broadband at the moment, but would like to upgrade in the future and I'm wondering if this item is future proof.

Thanks for any advice given.
