I recently got a laptop that I want to be able to connect to my network with, for accessing the internet and files on other computers.
Right now I have a WGR614 v4 router and so just need a PC card or USB network adapter.
However im not sure what sort of range to be looking at. I know my router is getting pretty old now and I imagine the aerial is fairly weak. The whole purpose of the laptop is to be able to use it downstairs which would put a wall and a ceiling in the way.
So can I get away with just getting an adapter for the laptop (And how much would I need to look at spending?/What requirements would I need?)
Or would I need to look into buying a new router as well. (I'm in the UK btw for any links or prices)
I appreciate any help, thanks.
