Help please thanks
I believe that what you really want to do is to create a wireless network at home (a hotspot is a term normally used for a public network).


If you are going to use NTL, you need a wireless router - a modem/router combination will be no use to you at all (they are ADSL modems).

IIRC correctly NTL do not sell a router - but they do recommend a package.

I would advise doing a search of the forum, as I am sure there is a "Recommend a Router" thread which will give you some ideas as to what you need.
