Title: Networking newbie over here
Post by: L i L K u B B s on September 02, 2004, 02:07:03 PM

My computer will be here in a few days and I wanted to set up a network so that we can leave the computer downstairs and have mine in my room. Then I leave for college in 18 days and want to connect ps2 online along with my computer. I don\'t know anything really so any help is great. Is it better to go wireless or stick with wires? Do you recommend any brands? I also don\'t know any of the little things I may need, so if there\'s anything extra tell me.

A few routers I came across...

 One  (http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=301855&pfp=cat1)

 Two  (http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=273755&pfp=BROWSE)

 Three  (http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=282388&pfp=BROWSE)

Linksys PWNZ!!  I think just about all wireless routers have wired ports on the back for close connections.  Can\'t lose either way with that.

All three of those are fine really.


We use D-Links at work and they seem alright.
