Online

If you want to set up a wireless network, I hope you will find the following information useful:

The Netgear WG311 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter has compatibility issues with both motherboards that have a VIA chipset and AMD processors. If your PC has both then get another card, for example a Belkin F5D700 802.11g Wireless Desktop Network Card. Do not spend 3 days trying to get it to work.

Cordless phones interfere with wireless networks as they operate on the same 2.4GHz frequency. Unless the wireless network is protected by WEP encryption, the connection will drop every 10 to 20 minutes, and quite often can only be re-established by uninstalling the wireless network adaptor, uninstalling the utility software then reinstalling both. Do not explode with fury when an essential download fails for the umpteenth time because of a dropped connection.

The Netgear DG843G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router, despite being a highly recommended Amazon top seller, has spontaneous rebooting issues and an overheating problem. This latter will cause it to switch off and appear broken for several hours. Do not curl into a ball and cry when a digital straw materialises from the magic interweb rays that fill your house, alights upon your hunched shoulders and breaks the backbone of any technological enthusiam you may have had.
