Thanks Matt, I didnt think of that, mainly because I was hoping not to spend more money than I have to.
If my router had a USB slot in it could I plug the dongle into that? I am looking to upgrade my router anyway and was wondering if this would be possible. The reason I ask is that we dont have a desktop connected to the router, just use laptops in the house. Also I'm assuming the PC would have to be on?
