Completely befudled (well only slightly) by the world of wireless networking. Trying to convince my parents to get broadband but with five computers in the house we'll need to network them and wirelessly would be the best option.
The coputer OSs are:
Windows XP SP2 x 4
Windows Media Center Edition
However, I will be upgrading my brand spanking new computer to Vista whenever it becomes a more practical option.
There only needs to be 4 computers networked together at any one time as I wouldn't be using my laptop all that much in the house and the main computer would be my dad's media center os computer (Even though my computer is the highest in pecking order power wise
). Sizewise, the house isn't overly big so even lowish ranges ~50 feetish should be more than enough.
Price range is basically the optimum bang for buck.
Can anyone tell me what sort of hardware I should be looking at here, or if it would even work?
Thanks for the help.
