Wireless for igorant people?

Jan 01, 2007 0 Replies

First... I am computer fallible. Basically I can turn the dam thing on and that is about it. I am however smart enough to follow basic directions if I understand the language. After reading most of these posts I realize that you are all talking a different language than I am used to.



The Question Is:



I have a computer that has a DSL connection through a wire to an ACTIONTEC wireless capable modem. I use my laptop to connect to this regularly and want to keep it this way. I have fairly good reception (exc to good) throughout the house.



I have a second computer that we got from SANTA this year for the kids. I have set it up in a position of the house that we get better reception. I have an older, (1 to 2 year old) LINKSYS WRK54G wireless



4 port broadband router.

Can I use the LINKSYS to be a receiver for the signal from the ACTIONTEC to be sent through wire to the new computer, or do I have to buy a receiver.



Any HELP in non-computereez would be greatly appreciated.



TERRY
