I haven't got wireless. Everytime I've tried to use it in the past (hotels etc) it seems flakey. Also, I seem to get through laptops - they don't seem to last more than 6 months even with very light use so I sticking with my hard wire connection and desktop PC.

It seems to be working very well, the wireless network has been working without any problems for a week now, but we have only got the laptop working today as it needed a new hardrive and network card. Off to pick up a cheap laptop case from Argos tomorrow

It is nice to have the portability of the laptop, also as my OH spends a lot of time on his PC it does mean that I can use the laptop in the same room as him, if I want to

Re: Wireless Networks :)


lol Well the prices of laptops have come down quite a bit, I was quite shocked how reasonble they are, saw one this week on ebuyer (not ebay) for £340 including VAT. The one I am using is an old Compaq one, but fine for browing the internet

Re: Wireless Networks :)


We have a wireless Netgear router. We run two laptops and a desktop from it. (It used to be three laptops until Em dropped her laptop and that has now been replaced with desktop which hopefully she won't drop )

I love being wireless...it's brilliant!! Couldn't go back to being hardwired now
