Hi I'm new to the board and hopefully you can give me some help with a system I’m setting up for a friend:
Okay this is the situation, he works from home and has just bought a Dell 4600 P4 2.4Ghz. He now wants to buy a laptop. It will be set up as follows:
The laptop upstairs in his house linked via a wireless network to the PC which is downstairs, allowing him to share files, the printer and an Internet broadband connection.
The laptop will also be used when he ravels in Europe for work so must be able to connect to the Internet.
Now I have never set up or used a wireless connection and would welcome advice on:
A. What sort of networking card I should make sure the laptop comes with.
B.What type of wireless router he should be looking at for the PC
Also how strong are these wireless networks? His house is very large and has really thick walls – will the signal get through okay???
Thanks in advance
