Help please.
I have zone alarm firewall installed and currently have 1 pc.
Was wondering if it would be beneficial to buy a router for additionial protection.
If so, which router would be compatible/recommended. Would like to do this as cheaply as possible.
I May get a laptop in the future so it would be useful to have the facility to access the internet connection from another room without hard wiring.
I have the ntl modem plugged in via the ethernet cable. No wireless network card on my pc.
If I get a wirelss router can I still connect it via a physical cable to my pc and then use the wirelss facility for any additionial computer/laptop or will I need to buy a wireless card for my pc ?
Would appreciate any advice or recommendations.
Thanks
