Hello, hope someone can give me the info that I am looking for here.
I want to set up my house with a wireless network so that I can brouse the
internet downstairs rather than having to go to my home office where the
phone line is sited.
I bought a Belkin 802.11g router to do this with but, the instructions lead
me to think that I have to have a computer permanently connected to the
router by the yellow wi fi cable supplied.
What I really want to do is use the router as a modem transmitter (probably
the wrong terminology but, I hope you understand what I mean!) so that the
internet is accessable in any room of my house. I only have one computer
and that is my laptop which is wireless ready.
I have a HP laptop with centrino processor - not too sure which model it is
but, I gues that is not too important. I have connected to wireless
networks in hotels etc so I know it works ok.
I just want to know whether what I want to do is possible with the kit I
have bought or whether I need to get something else.
Hi Folks,
Nobody posted a reply (which is fine!) so I plodded on and configured the
router while wired via the ethernet cable. Once the configuration was
complete I unplugged the cable and found that I was able to connect to and
brouse the internet.
