Help changing from telewest to BT

Ok am changing my broadband connection from Telewest to BT option 3.

Now with the BT option 3 you get a wireless hub, so do I need to have a wireless card fitted to my computer or can I run a network cable from the hub to the computer?

Also if yes to both the above questions, which is the best option?

Not sure about the cable connections to the BT hub tho Foxy will tell you better cause shes got one.

But out of the 2 cable will always be faster and no need to encrypt the cable connection.

You won't need to get a wireless card fitted you could just get a wireless USB dongle that just plugs in to your usb port.

But the wireless card would be better and kinder to your cpu because USB's take alot of power as well as tying up your cpu as well.

You can connect via ethernet just checked so you don't have to have anything fitted just the cable from you pc to the hub
