We have an old PC which shares the internet (and some of my files) to the network. We have a wired network to the desktops, and a wireless to the laptops via an access point (we didn't wanna pay to replace all the wired equipment with wireless). | |

So you could do what I do at the moment and share the Internet connection but have to have the PC with the modem on to get access on all other PC's on the network. | |

Even if you have a PCI wireless adaptor you can get an external aerial to get a better signal... depends what's cheap tbh. | |

quote: yes this is useful. I have an usb adaptor and i get 80-99% signal between the router whereas old man with his pci gets about 40 odd and he's closer :lol: Then again, there is more overheads used with USB devices...so if you have a slowish pc then you might notice some drop in performance :( | |

just a tip if buying for a desktop pc always buy the usb as it has a cable and can be moved around to find signal. the pci one was useless to me. | |
