pardon a newbie question, but can anyone tell me if you can mix a new
install of wi fi with an existing wired network? Can I sorta piggyback the
wi fi instead of having to add more data cables..etc...

Guess nobody wants to help newbies...you should have been born knowing
everything.
Too bad...actually, I have the very same question. Upsetting that you
can't find a FAQ for doing exactly what you are interested in: Converting
a home DSL line to wireless inside the house so you can use two or three
additional computers. Simple I would think, but I've had no luck finding
anything written on the net and I'm not ready to trust the minimum wage
kids at Office Max.

The FAQ section is being rebuilt soon and would contain more help.
this link in it may be of general help
http://www.wi-fitechnology.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&m
yfaq=yes&id_cat=25&categories=Planning+for+your+Wireless+Network&parent_id=
7. This link however is a help tutorial "Setting Up A Wireless
Network".
Any questions posted in the FAQ section will be removed, stored and
considered when re-designing the new section.

Hi,
I have a Linksys cable DSl router sharring my internet connection between
my desktop and my sons pc in his room. I also have a laptop with a wireless
card. Can I add a Linksys wireless router to my pc that already has the
cable DSL router so I can have both cable lan to my sons pc and wireless to
my laptop?
