I would like to purchase and install a wireless router with my currently configured Ambit U10C018 cable modem to allow me to use multiple computers on my internet connection. I am unsure of compatibility issues that may affect this be it with the router I choose or my ISP. Can anyone offer insight to any problems they forsee? I would like my desktop computer running WinXP home to be wired and my laptop running windows vista running on the wireless connection. The laptop does have a wireless card installed stock I believe wireless-G. I found a Linksys wireless-G router for around 60.00 us dollars. As opposed to around 300.00 and 6.75/month my service provider wants to charge me for this connection.
Any help? Thank you very much! Rob |

i use a linksys WRT54GS with 2 winxp computers. 1 wireless 1 wired. works fine. i use the GS model cause it has wpa2 security and extended range. if your isp allows it's a good way to go.

I purchased the linksys WRT54GS. WOW! super easy to set up!! Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. The best part is Im not giving my money to my ISP. What a scam.
