connect wd tv live hub via wi-fi
i´m planning to buy a wd tv live hub. i have to connect it to my pc via wi-fi. my PC has no wi=fi connection. what else do I need? a wireless router for the pc? a wi.fi usb connector for the wd tv live hub? or what other products? thanks
If you would like to take the full advantages of the WD TV Live Plus, you will need a wireless adapter for it and a wireless router for that wireless adapter to connect to. As far as your PC, it can be wired into the wireless router and still function properly with the WD TV. The main advantages of the WD TV Live Plus are its capabilities to stream online media, like youtube and others, so make sure you get a moderate router and USB adapter for these features, don't have to go overboard like hundreds of $, but $60 router and $40 USB adapter will probably get you running perfectly, just make sure your PC is compatable with devices (not super old, XP or hopefully newer).
I always go with Netgear personally, but Cisco's Linksys is also good, Belkin and D-link can be pretty iffy, have had bad experiences and know customers always have issues with them generally. For the extra $10-15, just get a better brand.
