jim Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I've just got a BT Home Hub, and I need a wireless adapter for my computer. Can anyone recommend a good one, or a preferred brand? There seem to be dozens of them available, and I don't have any way of narrowing down the choice apart from price. Quote
WoREoD Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I use D-Link all the time, with over 50 installed. There are choices though. Is it a static PC or Notebook? If the former then I'd recommend a USB one with a cable. This allows you to position it to best signal. DWL-G132 or G122 are good. However, if you are running VISTA (crosses himself), then you should check whether drivers are available. My son is running Vista and he has a Gsomethingorother but I can remember which one! You can also use this type with a Notebook, straight into a USB port. If you get one - follow the installation instructions - INSTALL Drivers from CD BEFORE plugging in the device!!! JohnK Quote
WoREoD Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 p.s. If you need more info please look at your hub and tell us what make and model it is. Quote
Andy Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I don't know the ins & outs of the techical side of it but I use D-Link as well and haven't had any problems at all. Quote
jim Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 Thanks guys. I use D-link kit myself, and have been pleased with various products, so I'll probably go down that route. It's for a desktop PC, by the way. Quote
WoREoD Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 If you just want 54mbs (802.11g) then the DWL-G122 should do you. £20.52 from broadbandbuyer.co.uk Cheers JohnK Quote
jim Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 Competitive price, so now ordered. Thanks again for the advice. Paid a bit extra for courier delivery, given the current Royal Snail ****-up. Quote
