Question BT Broadband and router

I have the basic package broadband from bt and have just ordered this laptop
http://www.johnlewis.com/Computing/C...5/Product.aspx
(not from that site)
And it came with this router
http://www.shop.bt.com/invt/car113

Now because iv got the basic bt broadband it says yoiu cant have more than one pc online at a time. Is this correct?
Can i be wireless without both PC on the internet or do they both need to be connected?
Thanks Subsy

It works fine but isn't supported by bt so don't ring them if you have setup or config problems. You'll need to know how to set the router up yourself etc.

You can have as many pcs as you like on at the same time, BT won't really know. The info doesn't state if the router is also a DHCP server - if it is, everything will work straight away. If not, you'll have to run the network wizard.

Yep very easy, just plug them in, make sure they have an IP address and away you go, like others said enable the security on the router.
