Wireless with a BT Home Hub

[madian225]

HI

A friend has a BT Home Hub and is looking to go wireless.

The hub is located in his hall and the one and only PC is in his study, he is looking to go wireless from his main desktop PC in the study to the BT home hub and asked me for some help and advice although I am not sure why lol

His PC is the Asus P5K delux motherboard with the Intel Qx 6700 chip, stacker 820 case.

I have been looking at the Linksys WUSB300N usb adapter as this would appear to be exactly what he needs but will this do the job?

He also asked which was the most secure method WAP / WEP , I will admit that my knowledge on all things wireless is non-existent as I have shied away from using wireless anything - my own personal preference to be honest.

Sooooo any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Not much point buying an 802.11n wireless adapter for a router that'll only do 802.11g. The Linksys WUSB54GC at a third of the price or Netgear WG111 at a fifth the price would do just as well. Not that I'm saying either of those are or aren't decent adapters.

WPA2's more secure than WPA's more secure than WEP - provided you use a strong passphrase, and any adapter you buy now should do WPA if not WPA2.
