    Smile Laptop Wireless Setup Requirements

    I just bought a Dell with 802.11g wireless and am about to order a Linksys WRT54GL 802.11g router. I want to link that router to my existing router since I only have a single LAN cable from the modem (we already have 2 desktops on that router).

    Can I get a few pointers here and is there something else in hardware I need?

    thx

    edit: or are there conventional ports on the back of those I can use, in which case this is accademic

    The Linksys router you are thinking of getting has the wireless and 4 standard wired ports as well. You won't need to use your other router at all

    Thanks geoscomp - router is ordered soonest!



    I got one from British Columbia shipped here to Ontario for 72.$C all in.

    I know I could have used just the G model, but I have thought of tinkering with Linux next winter.
