Wireless Comms

[kingandy]

I need to wireless-enable my PC. Point 1 is, stsquad, am I looking for "Wireless Networking" or "Bluetooth"? Point 2, mrssshhh, is CCL where you work? I'm remembering your warnings about hunting me down for murder should I use eBuyer, so I don't want to inadvertently offend you by shopping from the wrong place.

The magic numbers are 802.11b (11Mbs) and 802.11g (54Mbs). You don't need bluetooth, thats for phones and wireless headsets and the like...

How does this look to you?

Yes that will work, but only at the slower 802.11b speed. Still its faster than the actual broadband link so I doubt you'll notice ;-)

Ah - right. The cheapest g card is here, maybe I'll get one of each (one for Manchester, one for Ilkley)...
