What do I need to buy to connect to my pc in order to use WiFi with the N80?

Hi chaps, I'm on broadband at home and would like to be able to use the browser on my N80 whilst in my bedroom (the desktop is downstairs) - what do I need to buy? Thanks! :con?

The BEFW11S4 has an 802.11b interface and the N80 supports 802.11 b/g so you should be alright.

However, I don't think the BEFW11SF has support for uPnP so you'll miss out on those features but for surfing the web from your N80 you should be fine.

that router is a cable/DSL router which means you need to plug it into an ethernel modem. if your on ntl that fine, but if you are on an adsl with a USB modem you will need an adsl router (ie one with a modem built in). .11g is more up to date and faster, but buth are faster then broadband so it shouldnt be a problem if your just using it for internet (rather than moving large amounts of data between computers)
