Howdo i set up a wireless network with telewest broadband

A friend of mine has telewest broadband, he wants to setup a wireless network at home so that he and his kids can share the broadband connection and use all of the computers at once, he has asked me what to buy to do this because i have done it at home, but i use a normal telephone line and just bought a 3com adsl wireless broadband modem router all in one.

His telewest modem has a different type of connection (looks like co-axial), so i have no idea what he needs, can he get a wireless modem router or does he have to buy a wireless router and connect it to his modem.

Any information would be great

He wants a 'Wireless Cable Router'. This plugs into the ethernet port on his Cable Modem.

I, and several others here, use the Linksys WRT54G router, usually about £55 (or less on ebay!).

Oh, and to CF
