    I have posted this in the Networking forum but didn't get an answer. So I am trying it here.

    I am thinking of buying the TRENDnet TEW-639GR wireless N router and I have a couple of questions:

    - If I just follow their installation wizard, which is quite simple (type http://192.168.10.1 in the Address bar and follow the instructions), will it install successfully?

    - Once installed will it work with any computer that has a wireless card (b, g or n)?

    Yeah, just follow the instructions is best.

    Yeah, that's the beauty of standards. Any bgn card will work with it.

    Keep in mind, most b cards only support WEP.

    When I set up my router I had to change some settings in the dsl modem.

    Cross posting is against the forum rules. Continue discussion in your other thread.
