Hi all.

 

Since last October/November (When I built my own pc) I've been gaming off line as me/my family have 2 pc, but only one 1 port modem.

 

So I thought its about time I looked into buying a decent router to allow me to game online as well as my family to surf the web, ect on the other pc.

 

The only problem is our ISP is AOL, which limits the available routers down some what.

 

Heres a link to the AOL compatible routers. (Short I know :cry: )

 

I've searched all the sites I can think of but can't find a good, cheap router which is AOL compatible.

 

 

 

Budget - ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã50 (ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã60 if it comes with a Wireless adapter)

 

Type - Most be wireless as there's stairs and 2 rooms between the two PC's.

 

 

 

Any help would be great, as I'm about to start ripping my hair out because I cant find one. :wall:

Your not going to get much for that much if you need adapters too.

 

 

 

wow just looked at the list.. its not compatable with much. I guess you could go for one of those Belikin routers but not sure how much that would cost.

 

 

 

 

 

Either way you aren't going to get a router + 2 adapters for the PC for 60 euros. (asuming you don't have adapters for the PCs yet).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maybe you should get a different internet provider? AOL is horrible.

I cant switch providers as my mum pays for the it and all of my family like the AOL software (I personally hate it, but...)

 

I only need one adapter for my pc as its upstairs and a room away from the other PC, as I'll just use a network cable for it.

 

The budget is low because of 3 things:

 

*Its my money

 

*I'm going to buy some more parts (1gb and 256mb of ram, and a CPU cooler)

 

*Summers coming

 

 

 

If you can find a good one for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã5 or ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã10 then I'll go with it, but otherwise I stuck.

 

 

 

Thanks for the help anyway.

Try ringing aol and tell them you want to go wireless and you want some advice and they might give you one for free. I know lots of people who have them.

 

 

 

They usually give you the netgear DG834G and usually throw in an adapter.

 

 

 

You may have to sign up for another 12 months but if your family want to stay with them, it doesnt matter.

 

 

 

You may have to be a bit pushy with them, if you know what i mean :wink:
