Once Again Starmer Takes A Knife To A...

Hey; how easy is a wireless router to set up? My laptop has Bluetooth, but is it worth investing �60 or whatever in a wireless connection. Has anyone had any problems setting them up?
Thanks a lot,
Michael

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've just bought a wireless router too. After reading several articles on security, you should always do the following.
Change the default password on the router so only you can change the setting on it.
Rename the SSID to something unique and disable SSID broadcasting.
Enable encryption. WPA is much better than WEP as WEP has well known security issues and a determined hacker can crack WEP. Always use WPA.
You can use MAC address filtering, but it's not a very secure method as MAC addresses can be easily faked.
Good luck!
