Can I use WiFi Dongles to share the internet?

Feb 15, 2006 1 Replies

I am thinking of getting a few Safecom SWLUT- 54125 USB 802.11g USB dongles, and would like to be able to use them to share my internet connection. between 3 PC's, 2 running XP and one Windows 98.



The dongles support WPA and 802.1x - and I'd like to use the Win98 machine as a RADIUS server, and also to upload security web cam images to a website... The internet comes via a router to 2 XP machines (only one of which will have (or need, I think)) a dongle.



Is this scheme possible? or do I need a new wireless router? Any advice?



Thanks, John.


If it were me, I'd be thinking along the lines of plugging a wireless access point in to the router.
