[choi]

i read the faq but need some basic info

is it easy to set up
is the connection as stable as wired network

are there any security issues

Im quite happy with my current network but i probably need to get a newer router

what one is good

right well. yes you can have 4pc's and a laptop (on wireless) on one router. there is no need for a hub.

simply wire each pc to the router. plug the phone line in. open the config page of the router and input all your ips details i,e user name, password, dns and mac and vpi (all avaible from your isp) and away you go.

on a security note it is adviseable to encyrapt your network. this can be done on the router and the network key will have to entered in each on the computers using the router.

other than that it's as easy as 1 2 3!!!!

have fun!
