Hello everyone.
I have a problem. We moved in to a new home and my desktop PC is across the
room from where the internet cable jack is so there is the big white cable
running all the way around the room. (ugly) <s> The cable company could
not put in a new wall jack on the side of the room where the desktop is.
(long story) So I've been looking into this new fan dangle <S> wireless
stuff. From everything I could find on the net it always shows home
networks with PC's and laptops all connected wirelessly but it also always
show the one desktop connected to the router via Ethernet and then all the
rest of the computer are wireless. My question is, is it possible to just
have one desktop PC connected wireless? Sorry if that is a stupid question
but I don't know anything about wireless and the examples aren't helping.
My daughter visits often with a laptop so I would like the capability of her
connecting as well. What equipment would I need and what is a recommended
brand if this is all possible. And I am also confused on all the different
standards a,b,g. Also, I have three Panasonic wireless phones in the house
that are 2.4 Ghz. One is in the same room as the desktop. Is that a
problem?
TIA
Peggy
