I am currently on Pipex BB, and I am looking to purchase a wireless solution
at home - my brother (the one buying the kit) has his eye on the Netgear
products.

Its basically a question in regards to what people think would be the best
choice, all from broadbandbuyer.co.uk

Ideally I'll be looking to use the wireless network for approx 1-2 desktops
& 1-2 notebooks, although probably no more than 2, maybe 3 at a time on few
occasions.
Do people prefer to go with the whole integrated solution or is it better to
have a seperate modem & seperate router (eg 2 boxes)
what do ppl reckon.. I will be looking to buy one of the following below:

1 -
http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop...&ProductID=599
2 -
http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop...&ProductID=685
3 -
http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop...&ProductID=233

Any advice would be great thanks!

I bought the Netgear DG814 Modem/Router, WG602 WAP and the WG511 Network PC
Card.

They work together brilliantly connecting my Desktop to my laptop with no
wires and fast connection all round the house and even at the bottom of my
garden

I got all the above from Ebuyer as they were doing a special offer with the
602 bundled with the 511...total cost for the 3 items was £207 inc VAT &
delivery.

Yes Netgear,the few I've setup(4) have been quick to set
up properly,have decent range and seem to be good quality.I would do search
on the specific components you intend to use ,as lately I've found that
quality can vary wildley in a company.They may make an awsome X but
their Y and R sucks.So you may want a pcmcia card from one company,a router
from another and a USB
based from yet another.Adysthemic
