All you need for a Wireless Network (WLAN)

What is a wireless network for? Want to share the Internet and other resources (files, printers ...) but don't want to have those messy cables running all the way around your home/office.

What is required? To build a small office / home wireless network, you just need a wireless router and WLAN adapters (wireless network card, for computers without them).

Which router? There are two types of broadband services in UK: the NTL cable and the BT ADSL (including AOL, Wanado, Freeserve, Tiscali, Yahoo ...). For NTL cable users, a cable broadband router is required; for ADSL users, a wireless Ethernet& Modem router is required.

Which WLAN adapters (wireless network cards)? USB to WLAN adapters can be used for both laptop & desktop and it works by simply plugging into a USB port; PCI to wireless LAN adapter can be only used in desktop and you must open the computer to insert the card into a spare PCI slot; PCMCIA to wireless LAN adapter can be only be used in laptops with spare PCMCIA (cardbus) slot.
