As stated, wireless router £50ish,


And each wireless card will cost what (considering than many MB /
systems now come with a RJ45 port as standard ?...

Also what if the OP then finds that there are problems with wireless
coverage (not to mention the added security risks of wireless), hard
wired Cat 5 network is 99 percent certain to work first time and don't
have half the security issues that wireless network does.....

Security is not an issue if you read the manual ;-)

Network cards - should be no more than £20 inc vat tops.



But that's a £20 net card, £50 router (oh, all right, how about a pair
of Belkin "Turbo" devices for that tiny bit of extra speed... how
much?), possible reach issues, possible interference with/from other
2.4GHz devices (phones, microwaves, remote controls, AV senders, other
802.11 devices) causing performance degredation as a minimum...

...or (assuming the hardware is already in place for a wired solution) a
couple of quid for a bit of CAT5 and some drainpipe (or whatever).

No contest.

Hwyl!

Unless your out in the sticks use 2.4 Ghz as a second choice only.

Wired is much better, if you can get the wire where you want that
is!...
