ive never set up a wireless connection before and was thinking about doing it. i wanted to know that can i use two laptops on a single wireless connection. meaning using a single router can two pcs catch the signal seperately at the same time
-
Yup, doing it right now, just if one has a stronger wirless card it will slow the other down dramatically
-
thanks. do i need a special router for this or any will do
-
any should do...obviously use wireless G
Linksys make good routers.
-
linksys makes best in my opinion, tried several others and ended up returning them for the original linksys
-
BTW what the difference between wirelessG and N
-
N is alot faster but not certified yet...G is 54mb/s ........B is 11mb/s Theoretical for N is 400mb/s i think...but unless you are transferring large size of files in you network...G will b fine
-
Draft N is pretty much complete so there's no reason not to go with it if you can find a good deal on an N router.
-
well i have a pretty slow connection so those models that provide such great speeds wont be of any use to me

If you go for a linksys G router only get the WRT-54GL, the other models are not that good. The GL is like the original one that gave Linksys its reconnection. There current WRT54G and GS models do not preform well. They have 1/2 the ram of the GL model.
Dlink and Netgear both make good routers, and if you can find them Buffalo. With the law suite injunction against Buffalo they can no longer import them. The other mfg may be in the same suite unless they settle soon.
