    Always best tobuy your own router in most cases. 4 Port wireless if you have more than one computer.

    Use CAT cables, not wireless/USB whenever possible, it's faster.

    Very true read reports on the exact model you intend to buy if you just dont get tech things (and have a life) ask on here. Security, performance,ease of use and realabilty as well as cost all important factors to bear in mind.

    A router is like the doors and windows on your house something you dont take much notice of but need to keep you safe and protected.

    We use Wirless in our house and cable, the Wirless is left on only when needed and on the lowest power. 1 for security ie it radiates the least distance outrside our home 2 for health reasons as no proper long term reports have been done on how WIFI signals affect Humans as they simply haven't been around long enough.


    If you do use wireless think about security and bear in mind hiding your ssid and even locking down to a mac address are not hundred percent safe.
    Easy to find a router with out a ssid and not that hard to mimc a different mac address. You would have to be unlucky to have a techy person determined enough to do it, but i would say its not worth the risk if you bank/email on your network and keep any form of personal data on your pc.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    If you live close to me you can get a wireless connection for free! I haven't figured out how to put a password on it yet!

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.
