I have read similar posts but do not have an answer for my situation.

I have a wired router to which 6 computers are connected. I would like to leave the computers the way they are (on a wired network and on the same wired router), but also like to get wireless capability.

Is there a way for me to connect a wireless router to one of the ports of the wired router, and use the wireless router to access the Internet from a laptop or PDA with wi-fi access?

I hope someone can help.

James

You can connect wireless router to one of the ports and wireless connection should work. Your IPs will be different for WiFi connected hosts.

Hope this helps.
