I live in the top floor of a shared house, and there are 3 people who want to share a broadband connection.

I ordered ntl and bought myself a belkin wireless router and wireless card.

Am i right in thinking that all need to do is connect the router to the modem supplied in the lounge and everyone in the house with a wireless card will be able to acccess the internet?

Or does one machine have to be permanantly connected to the router via a cable?
This would be an issue as the router is in the lounge and i am on a desktop pc.
hi and baxxy...

The short answer is yes, that is correct (although you will need to connect to the router with a cable in order to set it up initially.).

I would suggest you trawl through a couple of recent threads on this subject to get a fuller idea of what is involved.

Cheers
