Re: Pleb router question
On the linksys router set up pages (which you will need to be hardwired or have a wireless connection to the router to see) check
1. That wireless functionality is switched on
2. That the router is set to broadcast the name (SSID)
3. For the moment - disable all security
With that all done the PC should find the router and connect to it.

So realistically you will need to set the PC up where it can be wired to the router then once it works, move the PC.

Once they talk to oneanother without security set that up, then once that is set up you can hide the SSID for extra security, but I would not do that until you have relocated the PC to its new location.
