I have bought a Netgear router, as I have 1 PC and 2 laptops around the house and i thought that it would be great to have wireless internet on each of them. I have connected 1 laptop through a very small ethernet cable (supplied) into the router, which is connected to the DSL filter and into my phone line. I got the software working OK and internet running.
Now i want to know is, with all these wires and connections running about, which is the wireless part? I STILL have to bring my laptop near a telephone socket in order to connect??? My ISP is AOL and if i connect via their modem, its the same physical connection as my router! So whats the point? Or am i doing something wrong?
I also want to connect my PC and my other laptopn via this router, do i have to purchase additional ethernet cables?
Thanks in advance
