Title: Uni Connections
Post by: Poison_UK on January 08, 2007, 22:01:39 PM
Okay Northumbria Uni have a free wireless access...

I have 2/3 PCs with me and working on 2 at anyone time.. Would a wireless router be able to hook up to the wireless that is avaliable and then use wired connection to my PCs? As I dont want them all on seperate connections....


Cheers,

I have a bridge to allow me to do that, connect wired clients to a wireless router. Linksys WET54G oh, and an 8port Netgear switch. DO NOT GET A GAME ADAPTER, as they will only allow you to connect 1 machine at any one time to a wireless network.
