Title: networking Post by: McLovin on Monday, August 15, 2005, 18:48:43 that'll work perfectly. thats what i have set up.
Title: networking Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, August 15, 2005, 18:58:13 apparently with ntl the internet comes through the set top box for the tv, so i just sit the router next to that and can walk about the house willy nilly with my wireless networking, yes?
Title: networking Post by: McLovin on Monday, August 15, 2005, 19:01:05 yep. router connects to modem(set top box in your case) then beams out the signal round the house.
Title: networking Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, August 15, 2005, 19:02:51 awesome. i never thought i'd reach this stage of supertechnology. films and music will come through the air to my computer.
Title: networking Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, August 15, 2005, 19:04:12 We had ntl cable and a wireless router, they put a modem in and you just connect the router to that and it's all wireless so yeah you can use the internet wherever with a laptop, also worked on my housemates girlfriends laptop too even without an adapter.
We didn't have a set top box though. Title: networking Post by: McLovin on Monday, August 15, 2005, 19:04:47 indeedy if you set it up right, you can all share music and films also. i havent worked that out yet though.
