The reason why I wanted to do it is because we only have one computer hooked up to the internet in my house, this one. And sometimes when I want to be online, I can't because someone else is on. So I thought it'd be nice to have a router and then I could be online with my laptop anytime someone else was on with this computer. That quesion was half just curiosity too though... But you said it would be slow? That's not cool.
Oh and another reason I was thinking about trying it is cause I've never really got to see a router and learn about it, and also I'm interested in networking too but never been able to do it. I just love computers and like learning as much about them as I can so I'd like to get a router and see if I cant get this networking thing down pat.
Sorry for what I said, guess I was in too much of a hurry... I've never had patience
But anyway thanks for the reply and i'm sorry about this post being so long too lol
