Untried, boxes unopened. Using Belkin Wireless G Router (802.11g), Belkin
Wireless G USB Adapter, with Motorola Surfboard cable modem, on Adelphia
broadband (WinXP PC). Before breaking the seals on the products, I wanted
to find out the following info (which is not given in the manual or on
their web site):
One bedroom apt with cable hookups in living room and bedroom. I would like
to install/configure the router, then move the cable modem and router to
the bedroom out of the way (where there is no computer), and communicate
with it from my desktop in the livingroom by wireless means only.
Occasionally will also be using a laptop as 2nd computer (which is already
configured for wireless DSL with flat plug-in modem).
When at our other location (on DSL wireless), the computer hooked up to the
wireless setup by ethernet cable does not need to be on in order for other
computers on the network to access the Internet, leading me to believe that
after install/config, perhaps one does not need a computer directly wired
to the router at all. If not, that would be helpful in the current
situation on cable so that any and all computers would be addressed by
wireless means.
Thanks,

when you connect your router directly to the modem then you can have all
your computers set up for wireless connection.
and even if your 1st computer has a wired connection to the router,you
dont have to leave it switched on for using using a wireless connection
from laptop.
Thanks Super...Got it going all wireless. Just needed to hook up through
Ethernet cable to use the computer to program the router. Then it worked
without it just fine.
