DSL / Wireless question

whatawaster · 2007-12-02 12:38:32

Hi, At the moment I have a DSL router (with UTV) connected to my PC upstairs, and occassionaly I bring it downstairs to use on my laptop. I'm looking to get wireless throughout the house, mainly for my laptop, though there is no wireless on the PC upstairs. What will I need to make this happen? Thanks.

You could install the wireless router upstairs. Run a cable from it to the PC and let the laptop connect wirelessly. If you don't want to run a cable to the PC, then you'll need a USB wireless dongle. I'd stick with cable if possible -- bandwidth over wifi is pure poo.
