Hi there,
Just a quick question. My Dad is getting a laptop for Christmas and I was thinking of getting him a wireless router or access point to go with it.
He uses BT Yahoo broadband so at the moment he turns on his PC and has to sign in to the service to get connected.
What sort of router would I need to work with his current set up? Just any ADSL wireless router and replace his existing router?
Also, he is very concerned about WiFi security. I have ensured him that wireless connections are encrypted if the right setting is selected but are there any wireless routers which provide a higher level encryption to ensure it is as secure as possible?
Coule anyone recommend and good models?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: While I was waiting for a reply I noticed the HomePlug FAQ section. Maybe homeplug would be a better solution. This would be totally secure wouldn't it?
