Hi all....thought i'd join the forums as i'm about to have NTL broadband installed in my house. We have gone for the 2mb option and will be having 4 people share the connection, and to avoid running cables/drilling etc i thought wireless would be a good idea.

Now, NTL are coming next wednesday to install the Modem etc so ideally i'd like to get the equipment together before then.

Now, am i right in thinking all i need is a Wireless Router? (All 4 of us have wireless equipment installed on our laptops already).

I have a D-Link card on my laptop, and i've heard they are pretty good in general. Do they do a suitable router for NTL usage? If not, who do you guys suggest and where should i buy? Any other help/tips with regards to settin up the network etc would be fantastic!

Thanks alot in advance!

Matt
