Wanadoo - 2 PC's

I am currently on Freeserve Anytime, but using 2 different accounts on 2
different computers (don't ask...)
Anyway, I've decided that updating to Wanadoo Broadband (£17.99 p/month) is
the ideal option for me.

But can anyone give me some info on how to enable *both* PC's to connect to
the broadband line once it's upgraded by BT?
I understand I need a broadband router - but does anyone have any advice or
preferences to a particular model (with prices)?

In particular I'm wondering: would both my PC's need network cards, or just
USB ports? One of my PC's has a Wi-Fi card, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help,

Dan

Other ISP's have better options than Freeserve's £17.99 package.

Have a look at the prices in the same price range at

Bulldog
Pipex
Plusnet

http://www.metronet.co.uk/adsl/paygo is also worth considering as it sounds
like you are going to be a low user.

I suggest this:
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=48449

Even though they are being sold under ebuyers own "extra value" brand on
their web site, they are actually Origo's and come with support and a user
forum from Origo's UK distributers at http://www.adsltech.com

With the above model - at least one computer would need a network card, the
other one can be connected either by USB or network card - your choice.

A WiFi only makes a difference if you brought an ADSL modem which included
wireless support (from about £70).

Sunil
