“I decided on and bought a Linksys wireless adsl gateway. It was installed easily and everything worked perfectly first time. I hope that it really is a ‘fit & forget’ item like the Vigor unit I used to have.

Linksys is now owned by Cisco Systems, Inc. and as such, brandishes the name all over the hardware which I like the look of!! The kit also came with a PCMCIA card to make use of the 802.11g technology. The 54Mbps transmission is noticably quicker than my existing 802.11b (11Mbps). All good so far!!

I had read a couple of bad reviews about features not working or no wireless connectivity when it has been installed. I think issues like this can really come down to knowing about the technologies. I have set up wireless systems, routers and firewalls before and I breezed through this system. Everything worked perfectly, first time! Now I just need a laptop with 802.11g built in as standard… dont Apple make one of those??
