    Changing my network over to wireless...
    « on: August 06, 2007, 08:13:28 AM »
    I currently have 3 computers on a home network, which I now want to change over to wireless.  I have my wireless router.  My question is, will I have to "re-network" everything once I change over to this router, or will it keep all of my settings?

    Thanks!

      How did you set up the network?
      Which OS's are the computers running?
      In a normal case the answer would be no they shouldn't be re-networked.

        I'm running Windows XP.  I actually had someone else network my computers together.  I just don't think I'm quite knowlegeable enough to do it myself.  That was my concern with changing over to wireless, and whether I should have someone do it for me.

          Well to be honest much people have problems to instal a secured wireless network.
          But if you need any help just ask us we love to help people.
          With re-networking you mean the workgroup or do you mean you will have to change settings in order to make the wireless Internet work?
          Well the workgroup won't change but you will have to install you're wireless router and therefor change the settings of the router.
