Wireless help
 

Hi im after some help on routers i have a wired router at the moment and have purchased a laptop is there ayway i could buy a wireless usb stick for my wired router instead of having to purchase a whole new wireless router ?

Re: WIRELESS HELP
 

To get wireless connection you need a wireless router which will wirelessly route the connection. What make/model router do you have? It might already have a wireless feature.

You can just get a Wireless Access Point instead of a new router.

could you tell me a little more please ?

Re: WIRELESS HELP
 

Well, if you've already got the router, you can stick an access point on the wired network so you can use wired as well as wireless.

It saves buying a whole router. An example would be one of these

Re: Wireless help
 

The price difference between an AP and a wireless router is the same. I would rather go for a new wireless router.

LOL

I'd rather stick with my wired network since I had wireless and my game pings went up to over 100.

That link is for a HP lappy.

Re: Wireless help
 

My HP laptop has an Intel WirelessG card (same vintage as yours), so any wireless access point should be sufficient, such as the WAP54G.
Don't forget, if you get a WAP54G you will have two devices plugged in doing the job that one could do.If you want just one, then a Linksys WRT54G would do the job.

Re: WIRELESS HELP
 

yes i know i was asking the best wireless router for that laptop

Re: Wireless help
 

well it worked out at £35 for the access point and £37 for the router so have decided to go with the router

few more questions

will i have to reconfigure the little mans ps2 to play online

Re: WIRELESS HELP
 

Lol, My name is No Knowledge so serves me right.

Don't you mean yours? And yes it will need to be reconfigured as you won't be using the wired router so flog it on eBay.

Re: WIRELESS HELP
 

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so what will i have to change for him to still be able to play online with his ps2 ?

could i not plug this wireless router into my wired router and it will work ?

Re: Wireless help
 

Your wireless router will most likely come with 4 wired ports as well (the linksys WRT54G does), so hooking up the ps2 should be a matter of simply plugging in the existing cable for the ps2. The lappy will require configuring for wireless access.
