wire network and wireless how to

[gurubear]

Greetings to all
I have an interesting problem,
my modem, an ADSL Billion 711c is connected to my computer to the USB port
the router connection on the modem is connected to my wife's computer to her lan card. sofar so good, we enjoy the net and when I turn my computer off she still connect.
now she has a Laptop with a wireless card in.
I just wonder if I could add to one of the computers a wireless pci card and enable the laptop to connect on the net too. or I need more hardware and some aspirin.
Thank you in advance for your time.

According to this site --> http://60.248.77.180/_Internet/datasheet/711c2-all.pdf, your router probably doesnt have a wireless module. Double check your user manuals to see if i m right. You may need to upgrade to a newer router with wireless capabilities in order to allow your wife's laptop to enjoy a wireless connection.

Hi Young and Wild (like me once )
thank you for your response, I was afraid of that, indeed my router do not have wireless capabilities and I have been told I should invest in one with wireless, I was just investigating possibilities.looks like I will postpone the wireless bit for a while.
the german said that computers are the Devil's work, how right it is, never simple )
Have a great day

no need to get a wireless router if you don't have wifi on your current router. Just purchase a wifi access point and add it to your current router.

Hi Tedster
Thank you for the tip, nobody said anything about that, I saw one on ebay and its a much better alternative and cheaper too, thank you very much again. I will get one.
have a great day
