Gotcha!

Nope, its a USB modem so I will be needing a Router with a built in ADSL modem!

Are there ever any compatibilty issues between the router you use and the inbuilt wireless on the laptop? I dont have to get a particular type of router to suit the wireless on my laptop? The laptop spec is here: Clicky Says it has Wireless Network - 802.11b/g

Thanks for you help guys!!!

Very tempted just to buy Tiscalis modem/router to be honest.........Clicky What do you think?

Only if the original modem is an ethernet one, if its usb then no,

if you have an ethernet modem all you need is a wireless access point

Stu,

They are well easy to setup, just make sure that you put an encryption key on otherwise anyone will be able to access your broadband
