I am looking to add wireless capability for my laptop and/or PPC
Here is my setup now.
I have a d-link 4 port router right now coming off my cable modem.
from that it goes to 2 computers and at times the laptop in questiion
What i want to do is be able to use the laptop elsewhere in the house.
I have 2 ideas for setup. please help with which one would be best.
IDEA 1: Setup a wireless router off of the 4th output of the wired
router, and use the laptop with a PCMIA card. and PPC with it's built
in wifi
IDEA 2: Add a Wifi card to the back of one of the computers, that is
almost always on, and have it act as a server to the laptop and/or PPC
idea 2 is obviously more cost effective. but i have no idea if it
would actually work. I am totally new to wifi. Please let me know
what you think. pros and cons of each welcome!
TIA
Mike
