Wireless Hub?
« on: August 05, 2006, 01:04:45 PM »
I'm new and I'm not sure where I should be posting this but, how can you make your laptop act like a wireless hub?

Hi
Not really sure what you mean by wireless hub? Do you want to connect other hardware such as a printer to your pc or other computers.?

Do you use a wireless modem and router set up to connect to the interent?

Well, as far as I know, I don't think you can make it into a "hub", but you could buy a separate hub.
(A hub splits an Internet connection using a relay signal to repeat it over and over to each ethernet connection or wireless connection to allow several computers to connect at once)
You could make it into your networks central station. And yes, that can be wireless.
Is this what you want to do?

Why don't you explain exactly what you are hoping to accomplish?

I think (again, just a thought) that he wants his laptop to produce a wireless signal.  Like, for his laptop to actually act as a wireless router.  Get what I'm trying to say?

If I am wrong please correct me.
