Is it possible to use a wireless router to pick up internet within your home instead of a wireless card?
I want to hook up a third pc to a wireless network in my home. One pc has a wireless card , but it\s it possible to use a regular wireless router to pick up the net from another wireless g router instead of using a wireless pc card?

- Yes that's what i do at home.
- we use a wireless router for all our computers/laptops so YES!!! Try Netgear.
- Yes, I do that too !

- A relay or Access Point is what you are referring to. Yes. However, you can't use any router to do it. It must have Access Point or Relay capability.

- Yes a wireless router is the ay to go...
- Yes ma'am. I have the same thing, I use a Netgear router.
- Ummm, I think I know what you are asking. If you want to access the wireless network you need a wireless card. They sell them for both laptops & desktops. If you have a laptop &/or a desktop pc & don't want to get a wireless card... get a ethernet cable. Doesn't matter which one, make sure it's long enough to reach the back of the router. Plug it in & your connected to the internet. You cannot use the router as a wireless card, at most you could use it as a repeater on the network. You would still need a method of accessing it/network = wireless card &/or ethernet cable.
