Can anyone suggest a good wireless modem for me? I am running Windows XP with a wired ADSL router and BT Broadband on the main computer but did not want their "home hub". I have a laptop that also runs XP but it has a wireless card and connection set up for using when I am at work. Will that matter, as I also want to use the laptop at home? I would appreciate any recommendations for the make/model of wireless modem etc that I would need.

personally I'd recoment BT's "home hub"

what's wrong with it?
free .... 100% compatible ....(did I mention free?)

If you already have wired ... stick with it.

and your work laptop ... it depends on the configuration and security settings .... talk to the IT guy
Dont use BTs home hub, its actually one of the worst!

It has a very poor signal so you would get continous line breaks,The security is very poor as well.

If you have a smaller house I recommend a D-Link G series wireless router, signal strength alone will be 60% stronger than BT and it has superior security.

If you have a larger house , I would recommend an ASDL D-Link DSL 2740B N series Router, which is 8 times better than the G series.

The signal on my laptop went from BT's 36% to 100% using the D-Link. BTs home hub's quality is reflected in its price (free)

Thanks to both of you for the advice about the home hub. I must admit, I'd heard bad reports about it myself. I'll probably look to buy one of the recommended D-Link routers.
