Network

Wireless/Wired Routers The most common use nowadays for a Network System is to allow sharing of a broadband internet connection so that more than one person can connect at the same time to one account. It also enables two or more computers to communicate with each other so that printer sharing and data transfer can be utilised. There are a number of ways achieve this but the most versatile method is to use a Router which gives independent access at all times and provides an additional hardware firewall for extra security. We stock a range of wired and wireless routers which cater for both ADSL (e.g. BT, Wanadoo, AOL, Tiscali etc) and Cable based (e.g. NTL and Cable and Wireless) broadband internet connections.
