Greeting Pc Geniuses, may i borrow your knowledge for a sec.

Basically we want to set up a wireless broadband connection to 3 machines however i have a quick question of what is best to buy?

this network will primarily be used for sharing broadband with maybe a bit of copying files etc from each computer, and maybe the occasional game.

Just wondering what you would recommend? will a ten MB network more than surfice or iss a 100 mb network a far better option?

eg: this bad boy:

Don't worry, I've still got lots of Microchips' network to explore. Still working my way through his main porn storage, there's a LOT of stuff in there...

Nope, it should be fine.

And why buy a network card? It's all about the free one from SR, best free gift in a long while! (I don't care if you need a cable, it's still great!)

Although I also need to get one of those BB guns. I've got 3000 BBs but no gun for them!

Saying that, are the pings with wireless networks usually the same as wired ones? I would have thought so...

Oh, and you had better watch your inportant data, you don't want and super-hi-tech terrorists camping outside with their radars and stealing your Uni coursework!

yeah guys, but it wont actually enable faster broadband use in reality will it? as 11mbs more than covers maximum bandwidth.

the only real advantage that would provide is faster file transfers in a network? true? and obviously the added features listed such as a hardware firewall.

For standard online gaming and webbrowsing would we see no difference in performance?

Mine only started crashing recently (I've had it since Christmas). I've been running firmware 1.02 since then and have only just upgraded to 1.03. I was advised to avoid 1.04 since it may cause problems.
