Setting up a wireless home network help?
I want to set up a small home network with 3 desktop PC's so that all 3 can access the internet and nobody punches anyone else for computer time. All I care about is access to the internet at good speeds for all 3 comps. PC 1 is brand new and pretty darn sweet - Vista Home Premium PC 2 is a 3 year old Dell Dimension 3000 - XP PC 3 is some kind of 5 year old EMachines - XP Everything I know about networking I've discovered in the last 2 days researching online but I don't know if I'm missing something. I'm getting a Linksys WRT54GS router and two Linksys WUSB54G USB adaptors. Is it as easy as plugging in the two adaptors in PC 2 and 3 while attaching the router to PC 1 and going through the various install and prompts? Is there something else that I'm going to need to buy to hook everything up or just the router and adaptors? Will older computers work with this? Is it ok with one of the comps running Vista with the other two running XP? Any help is greatly appreciated. You guys are great! Thanks a ton.

- Yes, and yes. I too have the wrt54gs. and the wusb54g, All you will need to do is hook the stuff up and follow the wizard. there shoudn't be a problem with vista and xp. You might have to configure the ip address's. Vista machines like to put mcafee on them and you will need to change your exption list settings.
- You have got it down pretty good. Just follow the installation manuals.
- if you need help send me an email and i'll tell you step by step how to set it up :)
