How hard is it to hook up a wireless router(sp?)? My wife just got a new Dell and we have to hook up the wireless router so both computers can be on the Net at the same time.

THANKS
Mike

it's easy.


basically, run the cable/dsl into the rotuer, install the software. procure a 2nd IP address.
turn on other pc and voila......jsut make sure you put a little security on, unless u want other people borrowing your bandwidth.

Or enable the dchp function and let the router dictate IP addresses and save your money on that second IP. The router should clone the settings in the PC and modem making setup a breeze. Also try to use the same brand of networking equipment, it makes encrypting a lot easier.

You might also take note of the computer and gaming forum, lots of help over there.
