I am having ADSL installed at home and am looking to purchase a laptop to run alongside my PC (future server).
I have no cabling in place and although I originally was going to cable the shape of my house make it very awkward.
This is where wireless comes in. I would like to setup a wireless LAN and connect the LAN to my ADSL connection.
I've done a bit of research and figure I can purchase a WiFi/DSL router (such as the Netgear FM114P) which comes with a basic firewall installed and connect that to the ADSL socket and then install WiFi network cards into my computers.
Does this setup make sense? Would it work? I've looked at the netgear solution and am currently looking at the forthcoming solution with D-Link (DSL-604G) as they are able to provide 22Mbps speeds.
Could someone please advise me whether this is possible, what solutions are out there and if any has tried this already????
Any help would be great
Cheers
