Windows 95 and wireless network adapters

by Rog47 Aug 22, 2005 11:39AM PDT

Can a wireless card adapter be used in a Windows 95 system to communicate with a wireless router on a broadband router? You remember Windows 95, I found someone still using it and they want me to set it up to work with the wireless router Comcast installed.
Thanks

I've solved that riddle. Here's how.

I used an ethernet wireless bridge such as you see at http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=WE800G&cat=NET

Since it's very unlikely you'll find a Wifi card with Windows 95 drivers, this sidesteps this issue and only requires you to find ethernet support.

Cheers,

Bob
