I have a cable modem connected to my PC via USB. If I buy a wireless access point(USB or ethernet model), will I able to connect it directly to my PC to allow other computers in the house with wireless adapters to connect to the internet without any need to purchase any routers? I am already using a wired LAN with 3 network cards in my PC so that 3 other computers can share the broadband connection through the USB modem and everything works fine.

Thanks.

Seeing that you have all these NIC cards in your computer it seems that it is time for you to purchase a wireless router. They are not much more than an access point and will resolve your problem. Below is a reply that I gave to someone else in this forum and purtains to having a usb broadband connection.

You can purchase two items that will relove this problem. The first being a NIC card for your computer if you do not currently have one installed. Once the card is installed all you need to do is go into network properties and bridge the two connections. You will then need to purchase a wireless router and connect a CAT5 cable to the from your computer to the wireless router you should now have internet. There might be a product that currently can do this but I do not know of one.
