I did read his post. He said his girlfriend had a " modem then switch\hub. No router was mentioned in present setup by fatty. Of course he hasn't seen it yet.

Read fatty's post a little closer.

It probably has a modem and router. Not a switch\hub.

His gf wants a Wireless router upgrade.

He does not know for sure.

I have not seen it for myself but I assume the setup is as follows. There must be a modem in the house somewhere that is connected to a switch or hub that wires to the rest of the house.

EDIT: Oh.. and with 'post above' I meant mine.. not the OP.

No reason to start a pissing contest about something we both dont know for certain.

I think what we really want to know is, how doe's he have a girlfriend and hasn't been in her house ? :p :rotfl:

In my day I would have known the thread count of their bed sheets as well as their computer setup. :p :rotfl:

Well, I don't make a habit of digging in the backs of closets were these things are kept! :rotfl:

Anyway thanks for the very prompt and numerous replies. The two computers that are in the house are able to get on the web simultaneously so I assume that there must be an existing router or a switch but not a hub (did I get that right?). In which case I guess it's a simple case of replacing the existing router with the wireless one or putting it between the modem and the switch.

That's the way to do it. Liveing where I do it's just modem and Linksys wireless G broadband router. I have two DT hard wired and two laptops wireless with a third cable available. No switch.

Wish you good luck. It should go easy. Almost forgot.For desktop you'll need wireless card also. Unless the mobo has wireless built in.
