What do I need to go wireless

StupidV, Welcome to the discussion area!

The iBook's internal AirPort Express card works with any 802.11b or 802.11g wireless signal.

Is that what Wanadoo provides?

I use Wanadoo for my internet and they will provide you with a wireless modem that i use. I can say however that is isn't officially Mac-compatable and the connection is ruthlessly unreliable. I'm meant to be getting 1mbps but when i google "speedtest" and use one it turns out i'm getting more like 800kbps! I reccomend (if you can) going with blueyonder as this is what i have at my Dad's. It is a cable connection @ 2mbps *VERY FAST* The modem has just an ethernet cable that goes into my Airport Express and then its all cushty!

Hi Joe, I am considering a purchase of Telewest's Blueyonder service and wonder if you confirm how easy it was to convert the standard install to a wireless version using an Airport Express.

Thanks

Hey David,
I use telewest for my internet, best there is by the way. If you haven't had it installed yet then they can set it up wireless for you although it would probably be cheaper to go to PC World or somewhere like that and buy a wireless router then just connect that directly to the modem once it is in and follow the instructions. I did it for my monster-in-law with her pc laptop and it was a doddle, plus any time i am up there fixing it for her i take my iBook and it connects straight away. Good luck, let us know how you get on.
