Re: Question from someone new to DSL
A wireless router is what your looking for. You don't need a computer to be connected through Ethernet for it.
DSL modem hooks up to your phone jack, Ethernet wire hooks up to the wireless router/DSL modem, then wireless devices can connect anywhere (Depending on distance).
If you have a DSL modem, you can just buy a wireless router, any should work, but the "Linksys WRT54G" is highly recommended. If you don't have a modem, one of the best with wireless built in is the Thomson St516. |

| You have two options.
1) DSL modem with router+wireless built in - E.g 2wire 2700HG-B
2) DSL modem (no router, etc built in/ - eg st516) + external router (Like Linksys WRT54GL - this router can do a special function useful if you will be downloading torrents)
Both perform the same option, and you can use a modem like in #1 in "bridge mode" and still use the secondary router to do the routing and wireless (again, if you'll be using torrents.)
Cheapest and easiest option is #1
"best" option is #2, using any modem of your choice. |
