I posted some questions in this forum yesterday and received some very helpful advice. I now have a couple more questions that I hope you can help me with.
If I buy a router (I currently run each of my PCs using its own individual Thomson Speedtouch modem), do I still need modems at all?
If so, will my existing Speedtouch modems be O.K?
Would I have to connect to the router with a modem from each PC, or just have one modem between router and phone connection?
I read somewhere that I require an Ethernet modem, but I am not sure as to whether this is what I already have, or whether I need to buy a new one.
presumably, should I get a wireless router, I can connect to it with a cable and it doen't mean that I have to have a wireless enabled PC. However, if I enable each PC for wireless using a internal card, or external unit, they will then all be recognised by the router, and connect to the net, even if they are in other locations around my home? Is that about correct?
