have a few PC's with an ADSL connection currently. Need some good docs on best equipment needed for a shared internet conection, also file sharing. So what will i need. A Wireless Router that plugs into my ADSL modem, and each PC equipped with a Wireless NIC (most likely some the Netgear range) and a WAP that plugs into the Router I'm guessing??? thanks in advance
you can get WAP/router combo. I recommend LINKSYS.
Then either a wireless nic card or you can hard wire up to 4 PC's
dsl plugs into wireless router, pc's into router, or wireless. usually works right out of the box depending on your service.
my dlink di-614+ works great
just switched my router to this plugged in all my computers
installed the wireless card in my laptop
shutdown
plugged the card in
startup
connected wirelessly
easy as pie
had one h**l of a time trying to get linksys to work (search the wireless forums with my name to see all the troubles) but thats just me
