Its not wireless its self because it plugs into the router, but if you are using a computer on a wireless LAN then essentially I guess it is.

If it is a Network Attatched Storage (NAS) drive, then yeah, you should be able to just plug it in and access it like you would any computer on the network (\\nasdevice).
It shouldn't matter if your router is wireless or not - so long as the NAS disk is plugged directly into the it.

I buy most of my stuff from www.ebuyer.co.uk, but used to buy from www.insight.com/uk
Check out there website, because I know you can order on the phone if you dont want to buy on the internet.

haha its not a security issue! I just want it NOW. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
My new issue is that misco website says the shop is open on sundays but that the phone lines are closed on sundays. Is it open, is it closed, does it stock what i want, doesnt it? etc. Fuck it i think i'll go anyway. Nothing else to do.

GAH. i went all the feckin way down there, to find they were out of stock on ALL models except one (the most expenive one). I succumb and bought the most expensive one, trawled back to my house, plugged it in, only to find the bastard thing has a faulty plug. Not even one i can change easily (some european connection bollocks). So now i have to take it back. What a day! Still, weather is nice :)

Sorry to hear that. Why don't you just phone them tomorrow and get them to post you the correct one. That way it will save you the trip.
