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.

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?
