Router Setup

    I've got a Digiweb DSL Belkin wireless router, PC and samsung wifi laptop - all working well. Setup of the router just involved hooking the router up to the PC with a CAT5 cable and popping in the supplied disc.

    I've got two friends looking to get a wireless router. They only have laptops (no PCs). How do I set up the router? Do I just configure it using a CAT5 cable to the laptop then plug out the laptop?

    Also has anyone any experience of using this

    Belkin 802.11g Wireless Network Access Point

    to extend the range of a a belkin router?


    Thanks

    I don't have any experience with the Belkin specifically but yes you'll generally want to use a CAT5 cable to configure the router's wireless settings and go from there. Make sure you setup at least some basic security (WEP or whatever takes your fancy) on the wireless network, there're a scary number of unsecured networks around, just try driving around one of the industrial estates with a laptop sometime ;)...
