Wireless Router for NTL Broadband

[JAMIE23]

Hi,

I use NTL broadband for my laptop and asked them could they supply me with a wireless router - unfortunately they said they only supply these to new customers. Can anyone direct me towards a suitable router I can buy in Argos, Dixons or the like ? Also , is it correct that my laptop needs to have a wireless card to use this - and if so how can I check this ?

Cheers.

Argos catalogue has some. You could also try the usual online sources such as [broken link removed], , www.scan.ie, [broken link removed], , etc.

Yes.

and if so how can I check this ?

What network adaptors are listed under Device Manager (right click on My Computer > Manage... > Device Manager)?
