Thread: One adsl modem router, two wireless laptops

Hello, I have two wireless enabled laptops and have just purchased broadband. It works great with the USB modem, but I am wanting to go wireless.

The question is, can I have one router downstairs sitting next to the phone point with no computer wired to it, and then sit elsewhere in the house on both laptops browsing the internet? Or do I always need a PC wired to it?

Any help will be much aprechiated. Also, if you could suggest what router I need?

Sam

Yes, you can, since you already got modem router, then go to get a wireless access point and connect it to modem router with crossover cable (can use straight cable if auto MDIX feature is supported). I would recommend you to use Linksys or Dlink access point, pretty good the performance. You then configure the access point, so that the labtops could connect to it wirelessly.

Hope the info helps..
