Thanks for the reply. I had read that some wireless routers could be configured so they function as a client (?) and I thought this might be one of those. I was going to buy a wireless adapter card anyway but as someone gave me this router for nothing I just wanted to see if by any chance it was possible to use it like an adapter. Thanks. | |||||||||||||
