We recently decide to buy a Belkin ASDL Modem with Wireless G Router because we have two computers at home.

My other half found it easy to install and get working on our main computer which is upstairs. Downstairs is our family computer and we though it would help the family,(kids not allowed in mum and dads bedroom), to access the internet for school work, research and e mail access.

Everything worked fine, even the remote dongle worked really well and gets a really good signal.

The best thing about this wireless LAN is that you can use the main computer to allow certain settings on the remote computer and turn internet access on or off, transfer files from main computer to remote computer and view what the remote user is accessing so you can net nanny any of your kids while they surf without actually looking over their shoulder all of the time.

We have ADSL internet connection so this allows the wireless LAN to work quickly for internet access and PTP connectivity.

There are some drawbacks with a wireless LAN that we have yet to encounter.

If you have a cordless telephone with a base station the signal from the phone base station might affect the wireless LAN frequency or if someone living in range of your wireless LAN frequency has the same type of wireless LAN on the same frequency then they might be able to get what is on your computer because their wireless LAN is picking up the signal that your Wireless LAN is giving out, although this is rare.

So if you're thinking of getting a Wireless LAN then go ahead, you can always put extra security measures on the computer so no one can get your computer access and it does make life a lot easier when there are more than one computer in the house.
