Salute guys,
This is a "will it work" type question...
I am currently sorting out some PC issues for an elderly chap I help.
He has cable as his broadband. His connection is setup by connecting the modem to his PC.
He has had a few issues with virus's and such despite my best efforts to install software to try and protect him (mainly Zone Alarm Internet Security (paid for version)
I have now replaced this with AVG Internet suite (at his request as recommended by his son)
My question is....
I am thinking that he would be better protected if I was to put him behind a router as well.
I have a spare netgear router but it is one designed for ADSL, however, if the modem was being plugged via network cable into the back of the pc, wont the router work just as well with the modem plugging into that and then the pc plugging into one of the ports on the router?
Thoughts / Pointers welcome...
Cheers
Friar
