Hello folks
Let me start by saying i know less than nothing when it comes to using a router as i've never had one before.
So i just wanted to ask some questions.
1. Can i have the main pc wired to the router and the other pc wireless ?
2. Do wireless routers come with a dongle or do i need to buy one ?
3. If i do need to but a dongle what would be better a usb or a pci card ?
I'm not really worried about speeds as the second pc is just going to be used to surf and not for downloading or gaming.
Oh yeah and what router would you recommend ? something under £50 would be ideal.
I've had a google but there seems to be so many to choose from that i'm lost.
Thanks for any help you can give.
