Hi,
I am to order QWest DSL and construct home network, I have 2 laptop
computers at home and I want the network to be wireless.
I was thinking I need to buy DSL modem for DSL interface and a
wireless router for the whole home wireless coverage.
But I just realize that actually I can just use one wireless DSL
modem, that should do the job, right? Maybe a seperate router have
enhanced security benifit, but I may not need it anyway.
One laptop is of Intel Centrino chip and for the other I will use a
Cisco wireless PCI card. Both run Windows XP.
QWest promotion has $50 rebate on modem/router, I think I can just
order their wireless modem, that should be good enough. Am I right?
Thanks.
All you need is a wireless DSL modem/router. Many of my consulting
clients use the Actiontec GT701 or GT704 with Qwest DSL. They're
wonderful devices -- reliable, and easy to set up and use.
I recommend using a small local Internet service provider with Qwest
DSL instead of using MSN.
