Thanks Dave ...
Yep, I know!
He's visiting from London atm.
(Not too keen on driving much here as he's been overseas for 20+ years
& doesn't know his way round any more!)
I know NOTHING about Airports, so will have to look that up as well -
never taken much notice as I wasn't planning on bothering with wireless
ever - very small house, i occupant, seems unnecessary.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi BarbZ
What a great birthday gift!
Combined Wireless / Ethernet modems do exist and the benefits and
otherwise
of different brands regularly appears in the discussions here so a
search of
the archives may help you here.
Have you thought about just getting an Aiport Express or Aiport
Extreme to
your existing set up?
Daniel Kerr may be able to help with supplying any of these three
options
for you and save your son some driving ...
Regards
Dave

Hi all
My son is giving me an iPad (wiFi plus 3G) for my birthday this week
(it's a biggie! 8-D).
It'll be great because I'm having to spend about 90% of my time on the
bed with foot elevated atm, & have only a pretty old lappie.
I haven't used wireless connections at all before, so pretty clueless
on this.
I'm with Westnet, so far using the ethernet modem/router they supplied
(no problems experienced).
I also have 3 "Internet Power Point" (pick up the internet connection
in a different room through an ordinary wall power point).
He wants to go shopping this week for a wireless modem for the iPad.
My questions are:
(1) Can you get a modem which combines both wireless & ethernet
(so I can go on using non-wireless gear).
(2) Any suggestions as to the best modem to purchase for this
combination?
Or just for a wireless modem if the combination isn't possible.
Cheers .. BarbZ
