Hi James,
Yes, the routers usually (nearly always!) have 4 ports on them for
Ethernet connections, so you can use these to connect to the computer
and also have another system connected wirelessly. If you have NTL and
a cable modem, remember to buy the right router - i.e, you shouldn't buy
one with an ADSL modem in it.
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] Broadband question
Hi
A quick question for a friend, as usual I wasn't following the relevant
threads on the list when these topics were last discussed. My friend is
getting an ntl broadband connection. She wants to purchase a wireless
router so that her housemate can share the connection with her, but we
were wondering if one of them could connect directly to the router
through a network cable, meaning that my friend would only have to
purchase one wireless card, for her housemate. Is this setup possible?
Would they both be able to access the internet at the same time using
different connection methods? Or do we need two wireless cards?
Thanks
James
