leeslover Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm finally getting broadbanded up at home - we need four people to be able to hook up without getting to see each others' private mail, pornography etc. Anybody know what's a decent and extremely cheap bit of kit?

Why don't you want to see each others pornography? Are there some very specific tastes catered for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footy68 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 or get a broadband provider to provide you with a free wireless router. Orange's version caters for up to 5 wireless and one wired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISP provided Routers/Modems are often poorer quality and poor on performance. A certain major Telecommunications Companies offerings are just total cack, if i come across any at clients or new clients, the first recommendation is to get rid ASAP. They are made from the cheapest, nasty parts around. Sky TV saw the light with this approach and started using a modified Netgear DG834 as there standard offering.

Thanks for the advice guys. To clarify, I now have a wireless sendy outy thingy that Tiscali gave me, but I don't have a wotsit on my PC that picks it up, it's that that I need. I think.

leeslover Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 You need one of these:- "Dongle" That looks like the sort of thing. £20 about the price is it, or can I get cheaper without endangering the quality of my grot broadband experience?

Circa £20 is about right. You can get cheaper but I wouldn't recommend any of the cheaper unbranded tat on the market. I have used them in the past and had nothing but trouble with them.
