Networking newbie over here
« 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

Two

Three

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.
