I have a well established wired nework sharing a single analog 56K dialup connection, using a host PC and an unmanaged 8-way switch. (mixture of various flavours of Windows)
I am *not* using ICS on the host (XP) but am using Kerio WinRoute.
If I want to add wireless connectivity, do i need a wireless router, or can I just put a PCI wireless card in the host and use the PC as the router?
Is there any benefit in terms of broadcast power in using a wireless router, or is the RF output of a PCI card the same. (would consider a higher gain extension antenna).
Thanks for any help / ideas.
Alister.
