Hi
I desperately need some help please in very easy to understand tech language!
I have a desktop and laptop and have wireless internet setup on both. The router is in another room connected to someone else's computer by an ethernet cable. I do not share any files with this main computer only internet. I want to be able to use my printers which are in my room so that the laptop can access them wireless. I am looking at buying a new laser printer too.
So, what I need to know is do I need to use the router to set up a Home Network just on my computer and Laptop without the router connected computer having access to these machines? Also do I need the router to use the printers wireless? I have not tried to set up a Home network before so need really easy step by step instructions if I have to access the router in order that I don't mess up the internet. I can access the router but cannot have anything permanently connected by wires.
What would be the solution please - if any?
