Hi Guys,
Looking for a bit of guidance in choosing a wireless adapter to hook up to my XBMC.
I currently have a router (Linksys WAG54G) hooked up to my ADSL line. My PC & Media PC connect through it wirelessly (PC is on a DLink USB card, Media PC is on a Belkin USB card).
I would like the XBMC to connect in the same way (i.e. can still browse / download without the need for a PC to be on). I'd also like to be able to stream media from either PC to the XBMC via the router.
Is this possible? Do I need another router solely for the XBMC?
I tried a netgear WGE111 (wireless game adapter), but had absolutley no joy with it at all (I think it's borked, none of the PC's can connect to it, even when wired directly).
Preferably the cheaper the better & the easier to set-up the better (The WGE111 so very nearly got smashed into 10001 pieces!!!)
I guess this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything relating to my set-up (or something similar).
Any help you can give me is hugely appreciated
