Title: Wireless Router
Post by: rikita on April 01, 2006, 10:32:59 PM
I am not very technical but this is what I am trying to do.  I hope someone can help.  We have 2 computers one is desktop and the other is laptop.  I want to be able to use the laptop without wires in another room and have both computers using the same dsl.  I installed net gear on both computers and another gadget  i think ubs port or something like that on the back of laptop something the salesperson said we needed if we wanted to have a wireless laptop  The desktop is working fine with the wireless router  When i go to the wizard on the laptop i get stuck on network name (do not know what to put in there) and the laptop keep looking for a phone number.   help my q probably sounds dumb but it is the only way i can explain lol help anyone please....

How about giving us the operating systems for both computers, and the names of the adapters, etc. you are using. (They are printed on all the "gadgets".) It makes it a lot easier than guessing.
