Router help!

First of all, sorry for the thread with no content I posted yesterday. My PC crashed and I dunno what happened!

Anyway, this post has similar content but is more to the point.

I'm a networking newbie and I need to find a broadband router capable of connecting two PCs wirelessly.

Almost every 'wireless' router I see have ONE wireless connection and normally four wired connections!

Does anyone know of router that will meet my needs?

Any help would be much appreciated!



Cheers.

Cool

The wireless router with the wired ports. Wired ports have no bearing on you being able to connect 2 PC's wireless.

Actually it is better to have a router with wired ports in order to physically connect one for setup/troubleshooting if there is any problem with wireless connections.

Thanks chas,

Maybe i'm just a bit confused! From product descriptions I presumed that only one PC could connect wirelessly.

Could you please tell me what dictates the maximum number of wireless connections?

Cheers.

Most wireless routers can handle about 25 wireless clients before they get really bogged down.
