Adding a second PC to a wireless network
Q: I have a desktop PC in Windows XP Professional. I bought a laptop (Aspire) with Windows Vista. Can I use the same router to use the internet with both computers? The router I bought is wireless.
A: Yes, you can use the same wireless router with both your old desktop PC and your new Acer laptop. Most wireless routers support dozens of simultaneous wireless connections. You just need to enter the same wireless information into your laptop that you entered into your desktop PC, specifically, the wireless signal’s Name (SSID) and security type (WEP, WPA, etc).
