Agent Smith Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hello Blink, I've just had a look at the kit you were going to buy (have you ordered it yet?), and it seems to be very good value.I do not have much experience of the Belkin routers, but Belkin do have a very good name, so I would expect them to be good products.As for your question regarding the PCI cards, the answer to this is, "it depends". If the computers you wish to use are close enough to the router, and it is easy enough to run a dedicated cable from the router to the modem, then I would recommend doing this, in which case you would need a standard Network card instead. If however the distance or route is too complicated to do this, and you have to have a wireless connection, then you will need a wireless card for each device you wish to connect.Regards. Mr. M.

Guest Blink_182_fan Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Thanks Mr M i found out that the full delievery price was not added and that it is another £17 pound to deliver it to Northern Ireland. I saw this router at pc world and was able to work out it was cheaper to get it there because i didnt have to pay the delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Blink, I don't know if this is any good for you, but ebuyer have the router and card you were after for less than your original link.http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=52384I do not know what their delivery charge is, but it may be worth you checking.Mr. M.

Agent Smith Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 It is a different model to the one Blink was looking at. The same model from Broadbandbuyer is £72.77 ( http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopD...0&ProductID=765 ) which is 81p cheaper as well :D :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
