Yes they are available everywhere in IT shops. I think a Belkin Modem Router would suite you just fine but that brand is not cheap in UK so will be more expensive in Spain there are other makes at different prices but the cheapest way forward would be to get your son to bring one with him and install it for you.

I had a normal telefonica adsl connection prior to getting the wifi router and I was always able to use the telephone and internet at the same time with no problem. I thought that was how adsl works and that its only when you have a dial up connection that it interferes with the phone line.

Silly question but have you tried using both at same time?

With any broadband / ADSL or even SDSL connection you can use the phone at the same time as the internet.

When you wish to connect more than one PC, wirelessly, then you need a WIFI router.

However, don't the normal routers have multiple internet connections on them? If so, then simply get another (ethernet) cable and plug the second PC into the router directly - la voila!

If Telefonica supply the router it is usually a single port, non WiFi or a multiport WiFi.

I understand they are planning to swap all the old single port routers for WiFi routers in due course.

Interesting perhaps I should give them a ring. We only have the single port router.

You only have to buy a Telefonica one and plug it in, it will work straight away, password it so others don`t steal a connection off you.

All the recent TF routers I have seen even have the password set - it's printed on the label underneath.

Yes .... I well remember coming on here asking where I could get it from, only to be told to look on the bottom of the router
