bt wireless connection

[B.Bee]

I use bt internet but want to go wireless, how do i know what i need to get in connection with what i have, does anyone know if best to buy from bt or another cheaper but just as effective option

my laptop has an inbuilt card, i have noticed a pop up showing there are wireless networks, 3 are unsecured and say others can view my stuff and one is secured with a password, can i use these as these are properly my neighbours or do i need to get my own ??

thank you

You could log on to your neighbours unsecured connection, but that is very illegal.Assuming you already have a broadband connection, all you need now is a wireless router.There are loads on the market,all at varying prices, but about �50 seems to be the average price.Its really easy to set up a wireless connection,but I would recommend that you ensure that you have at least WEP security encryption in order to stop your neighbours stealing your bandwidth.

I have a robotics wireless router. It was only about �40 but you can get second hand ones. It was easy to set up and easy to put a password onto it. it just plugs into the modem I have at the moment.
