I use Linksys wrt54g... it has 1 WAN port and 4 LAN port .. (of course there are other brand and type to choose from)
Connect your modem to the Accesspoint WAN port and connect your desktop to the LAN port.
My daughter is getting a dell inspiron 6000 and she wants to go wireless.The laptop will have a intel pro/wireless 2200 internal (802.11 b/g 54mps).We have a dell dimension 4600 desktop (not wireless) connected to a cable modem (using the usb connection,but can also use the ethernet).We do not want to go wireless with the desktop, or at least see no need for it.What do I need to go wireless for the labtop and what products do you feel will work the best? Thanks....HOJO.
