Buy a linksys router. Its b an g at the same time, and it has enogh power also is cheap.

[steve520]

Do you have a link or something or can you suggest where i should buy one?

[mexicansnake]

Buy it on ebay, just type on search: linksys router :) and then try to find the best dealer.

[steve520]

It'll work as long as you have an ethernet cord coming out of the modem.

i agree.

and living in the UK, Sky Broadband is the cheapest and fastest i've seen around. £10 per month, up to 16MB [im usally around 9mb] with unlimited usage

:p, Netgear is a n00b a t networking, Senao its the best, its the most powerful, one of my uncles have a senao with an output power of 400mw and he uses an
20dbi directional antenna, and it has a range of 4km. Also the senao pcmcias are awesome on linux ;).

But linksys is the best choice for home.

Wow it seems that the broadband its cheap there, here we have 1mb for around: £30 per month with unlimited usage and unlimited local phone calls :p. Slow! I know :(.

Lol i have that router

I also have a Linksys Wireless B BEFW11S4V4 << AWSOME ROUTER!

Having 2 routers on one PC rules, you should try it! i also have 8meg BB which is good!

[parkermauney]

I've got 2meg broadband, it's really good, sometimes better than 8meg I've used.

[steve520]

Hey guys I have done loads of research over this topic since I posted it I found a totally diffrent LinksysWRT54G Router v1.1 which means it is better than the newer versions and allows me to play PSP on Xlink Kai. Heres the pic got it all for $39. Check it out.

Awesome!!! :). I told you Linksys routers rock!.

[steve520]

Hey guys om surfing on broadband right now as we speak. But i have a question the dude when he hooked up the modem said my ethernet card was bad in the back of the computer does that prevent me from using my Linksys Router?

[steve520]

Guys please help me i wanna know if this USB thing will work with the linksys im gonna get?

[parkermauney]

Bad ethernet card means you can't use the broadband directly, but if you have a wireless card on your pc then you could stream it from the router.

[steve520]

Thanks but i was wondering the dude gave me this usb thing to hook my computer to the modem and broadband works fine so i was wondering how i could like transfer to the linksys router

[parkermauney]

Plug the line into the router, and have an ethernet cable coming out of it into the pc.

[steve520]

Will it connect to the router even though i have a bad card

[parkermauney]

The ethernet port is bad on your pc or the router?

Post a pic of your setup.

[steve520]

I dont know heres in explanation I have my ethernet cable and the modem that the broadband company gave the guy went to plug in the ethernet cord into my PC from the modem he tried to load it up it didnt work. Then he said that my Ethernet Card was bad on my PC . So to get me on the internet he plugged in this USB cable from the modem to my PC and the internet works fine. My question was how will I make my Linksys work when it arrives at my house because i only have the USB connector in my modem to the computer and I was wondering how will I have to set up my Linksys since my ethernet card is bad on PC and I was wondering if it didnt even matter if it was bad or not.

[parkermauney]

Use the ethernet cord to plug the broadband into the router, then use the usb adapter to plug it into your pc.

[steve520]

Thanks so much parkermauney thats actually makes sense to me. Ill tell you how it works out when my router gets here

[parkermauney]

Alrighty.

[Triv1um]

Alrighty.

I think that is the most useful post today.

Well done.

[parkermauney]

I was confirming that I read his post.

I know, after reading over it I considered deleting it, but then thought he would be more comfortable knowing that I knew that he would tell me when he got it.

[steve520]

Parkermauney I have got to say thanks for all your help. But i did some searching around and my ethernet card works perfectly fine i ran this program called winsockxpfix now i plugged in my ethernet cable it works awesome. Well thanks for all your help but guess now i can set the router up like normal.

[steve520]

Hey parker got my router and it works and I have a question how do i set up the security on this and add me on your friend codes

[parkermauney]

I wouldn't go with security, some of it's not compatible with the ds, and it's not really necessary. If your neighbors start to steal it, run some scripts that screwup their web browser.

i would suggest using WPA and simply getting one of those wifi usb things to share your internet connection to the DS.

If you have a mac with a wi-if card you can do internet sharing out of the box. meaning you can have fully protected internet in your home, while using a controllable and secure wi-fi signal when you choose.
