Not necessarily... I've got a Cisco adaptor in my work laptop, and it seems to be able to pick up just about anything. Except in the hotel last night... On the other hand, I've found that the easiest routers to set up are Netgear ones, I've got a DG834PN (with the blue flashy LEDs on it), and it was just a case of uploading the setup file from my old DG834G onto it, and it worked. I've used Linksys and Belkin, and found them to either not work at all (Belkin) or be so difficult to work out (Linksys) that I gave up.

Do these systems have wireless adapters already? The laptops might or might not and the desktops most certainly do not and will need one of those. ========Both, and yes, we know they'll need adaptors. With those you might want to match the brand of wireless adapter that goes on the PC to the brand of wireless router so they are talking the same variation. For example in my situation with the Linksys 54G with Speed booster I would want to use the wireless adapter from Linksys that also has the speedbooster tag. I think that would be more important than matching the router to the modem. In my opinion. ========Thank you. :) Susan H> _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com DISCLAIMER: The information in this email is confidential and may also be legally privileged.
