| | Hm... It's pretty cheap to use wireless. I just went to a store today and found a 100 dollar wireless router that includes a usb adapter for the computer that would be needing a wireless connection plus it has 4 ethernet ports available for wired connection. It's worth the purchase. |

I picked up a wireless router from peak www.peakhardware.com for £20. If you just want it on your network its fine. but if you want to use it to have global access e.g hosting a server on your network. It assigns all global users withe the IP 192.168.1.254 unless i configed it wrong somewhere.

Routers cannot assign an IP address to more then 1 computer. Also you your "global access" that you are refering to as a server sounds like the DMZ ( demilitarized zone ). You should not have to assign a computer to your DMZ. The function of a DMZ is to forward all incoming connections to the computer on the DMZ that do not already have a specified purpose. In other words if you were hosting any type of server, such as game server, website, ftp, etc.. You would have to set the computer hosting these servers to the DMZ. Most routers should allow you to choose the internal IP you with to use on the DMZ, I have never seen a router that does not let you specify the address. Anyways on the main subject most modern routers come with built in wireless and the most common routers will have 4 ports for connections with a CAT5 cable. Wireless is usually fairly easy to set-up as most routers have a guide that walks you through it. The only thing you need to be sure to do on your part is to get compatible wireless adapters that will work with your router.

leas a 64-bit WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) key. Depending on the gain in db of the attached
antenna, the radius of wireless coverage can vary from 250meters to close to 450meters. Now comes
