Multiple PC on BB

I have just moved over to NTL BB. I have at the moment 3 PC's in the house, however I didn't realise that NTL use a co-axel cable and therefore I can only have one PC connected, Is there anything out there that I can buy to either replace or add onto the NTL modem so that it lets me use more than 1 PC, I would also need it to be able to use Wireless.

Re: Multiple PC on BB

Did you expect NTL to be ADSL Based then? Tut tut, shouldve looked on here first What you need is a Router with an RJ45 WAN Port then you just connect the Ethernet to the Router's WAN Port and you usually have 4 Network Ports and the choice of Wireless. I'm sure someone will be in to suggest a decent router soon.

Linksys WRT54g seems to be the favoured one around here.

be careful with version 5 of this model, apparently Linksys have used a different operating system in this version, which prevents the use of 3rd party firmware upgrades - one of the things in previous versions that made this such a popular router.

- apparently a WRT54gL is due out that is back to using Linux as the OS.
