I have plus.net broadband with the Thomson Gateway as supplied by Plus.Net. I have another PC in a different room which doesn't have a wireless facility. Is there a usb type plug in which would enable my other PC to connect wirelessly to my Thomson Gateway.
Cheers
Geoff

I have a USB wireless dongle (Edimax) that I tried on my friend's machine which was upstairs - router downstairs. Signal was not strong enough so had to abandon it.
On the other hand, it works very well on another friend's desktop but she lives in a small bungalow and the distance between it and the router is very short indeed.
A better solution is an internal wireless card. Last time I fitted one I used a Linksys and it cost about £14.99 from Amazon. It was easy to install (it must be if I can manage it).
