what is the less expensive way to set up a home wireless network?

Public Comments

1. Wireless router and wireless cards on each computer. Find some used (EBAY) and set WEP/WPA to secure the router.
2. You can get an inexpensive linksys router for around $40- $60 that will work no problem.
3. U will need a Wireless router to connect all the Computers. If the computers are laptops, most of them will have wireless card build into them. But for a desk top u need to buy a wireless card. Configure (ecurity, IP Address, Internet Proxy etc) the Wireless router to accept/connect all the computers. Give each computer a Individual IP address manually (192.168.168.XXX) or enable DHCP on the router. You can also connect the router to Internet connection using its Ethernet card. So that all the computers can access Internet. Here's a couple of nice articles with detailed explanation. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1428 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1276145,00.asp
