Wireless router thingy question

domski · 29-Apr-2006, 17:18

If I have a wireless router thing plugged in to the main phone socket, and a adapter card thingy in one computer, can I then run a cable from a 2nd computer to the router rather than buying a second adapter card?

Obvioulsy means I'll have a cable running from one pc.

Yes

You will need an ethernet cable.

yeah you can use it as a regular network hub as well as the wifi
It should just address it as a higher IP address on your lan
I have 2 wired and 2 wifi on my router
