Hello. Okay, in my last post, I MENTIONED THAT MY WIFE AND I had bought new laptops to replace our worn-out desktop, and to stop conflicts over who uses the computer when. :) We have a router so we can both be online with our computers, her Nintendo Wii, my Sprint Mogul phone/PDA, and all that...But here's my issue. The router is of course connected to the desktop. Now that we have the laptops, pretty much the only thing the desktop is going to be used for is to support the router because it has to be plugged into a computer, and neither of us wants to have to have our laptops tyed down to the router...Make sense?
So, is there a router available that will allow us both to access our Comcast cable connection with our computers, my PDA/phone, her video game console, without the need of the desktop computer to be connected to? Though, come to theink of it, I guess our cable modem is connected to the computer as well. Is there some solution, and how much expense would I be looking at, so that we could set up our wireless access, and be able to get rid of the desktop if we so choose, but not have to dedicate one of our laptops to being downstairs to be connected to the modem and the router? Finally, in addition to the router and my cable modem, what would we need to be able to set up an actual wireless network in the house so that, in addition to sharing the internet connection, we could pass files and such between our computers without USB cables and such?
