    Hi all,

    Need some help with a little project and just looking for some advice.

    I'm looking to build a wireless network, nothing to complicated just a basic set up.

    So far I have:
    1 x ZyXEL P660 wireless modem with Vodafone broadband
    2 x laptops with Windows 7
    1 x laptop with Windows Vista
    1 x HP Printer

    So far all the laptops are connected to the wireless broadband. I'm looking to create a network so that I can share files and use the printer without hooking up cables.

    Anyone know do I need to get a new router and what I need to do to build a wireless network?

    Thanks for that, I'll take a look. The printer doesn't have wireless just standard USB. Will I need to buy a wireless adapter for it? Also is it possible to connect an external hard drive to the network?

    I'm looking to have the printer in a press along with the external hard drive, neither will be hooked up to the laptops. Any idea how I can go about this?
