Hi All

I am about to get a cable modem installed into my home with 2 PC's attached and am looking into ways to make my life easier.

Where the TV cable enters the house is nowhere near where the PC's are / or could be so I thought "Wireless network"

I then realised that as I was having a permanent connection I was opening myself up to hacking.. so a decent firewall is needed.

Netgear do a 4 port router with a wireless connectiton and a built in firewall.. this sounds perfect to me.. does anyone have any experience with using this kind of kit.. how well does it work, is the firewall as good as (say zonealarm) or better? how do I configure the firewall?

My next worry, is if I have this box transmitting at 11mbps hidden behind the TV will it affect the TV or stereo etc?

Any advice gladly received

TIA
Will Jones
