From your PC you need to create a network. Go to control panel, network & internet connections, and follow the instructions. Once the network is created, your laptop will automatically detect it and log on.

Hey everybody, quick product quality question. Does anybody know if the “D-Link RangeBooster G Wireless Router” is any good? I’m trying to get a second wireless network set up in my home and am wondering if it’s a good product? I’ve never had any experience with D-Link products but am looking into them. I can figure out how to set up the network and everything, but need to know if it’s worth my time buying the router. I really appreciate all reviews. Thanks so much all!!

Answer by help plz
Actually D-Link is the second best company after Linksys, and I use this router. But the problem is that if you live in a house with more than one floor, then the signal might be sorta weak. For houses its best to have a “N” Router, but if you live in a apartment like me then its perfect.

Question by : Will a Mobile Internet Dongle interfere with my Wireless Broadband Router?
My mums boyfriend just moved in and he has set up a Wifi dongle to use with his PC (I’m not fond of him using my router), will this affect the connection between my router and my PC/PS3/Xbox etc.
Should I just let him use my router?
Also, would it help the connection if he connects it using an Ethernet cable?

Answer by Lost Wanderer
The more things generally pulling internet off will reduce speed, increase lag, slow everything. It shouldn’t effect you, in interference wise, but in connectivity it will.

Is it worth it to buy a Wireless N router?

Question by : Is it worth it to buy a Wireless N router?
I have around 8-10 wireless devices all in a decent sized house (around 2,000-2,500sq-ft). Currently they’re all connecting through an old D-Link 524 wireless router I bought close to 5 years ago. I keep the router in my office on the right side of the house while most of my wireless device are connected on the other side. As a result of the distance and the number of devices accessing the router, connecting has really become terrible over the past several years, I’m currently getting a speed of 0.32mbps up/.81mbps down in a room right above the router and I barely get a decent connection at times on my PS3 & 360 on the other side of the house.

Things like streaming HD videos and online gaming have really become bothersome, requiring me to reset the router at times. After researching the problem I’ve decided the best action would be to upgrade my router setup to a Belkin N+ router. Thing is, NONE of my devices are Wireless N capable so I wouldn’t get the wireless N speeds. So would it be worth it to buy the Belkin N+ or any wireless router?

I’m fully aware that I won’t get the 300mb/s wireless N companies advertise and I’m fine with it as long as a get SOME kind of increase in speed from the .81mp/s I currently get, an increase in range, and a router that could handle the amount of devices I have. I’ve read some reviews in which people have stated wireless N routers gave them reception in places they didn’t while using old b/g routers. The Belkin N+ is advertised as having a 300-400ft. range. If I upgrade would I get some kind of increase in range and network speed even if I don’t use the wireless N mode?
So I wouldn’t get any extension of range with a wireless N router unless I had wireless N devices??? I was under the impression that wireless N routers use more/stronger antennas (the Belkin N+ supposedly has 4) and since they can run in G mode as well as N I would get the benefits of the stronger antenna even if I wasn’t operating in wireless N mode.
Also, moving the router from it’s current location isn’t an option anytime in the near future. There would be too much exposed wiring for me to do so just because of the way my house is built. Appreciate the suggestions though.

Answer by Chris
I would definitely suggest an upgrade, but I’d skip the N. My suggestion is save the money and instead buy another wireless G router but with range booster (linksys makes some very good high range routers). The price will be close to the same, but you’ll be able to fully use the G while also getting better signal over your entire house.
