I currently have the following equipment from a previous home setup. Linksys WKPC54G wireless g router, a NP100-WM 10/100 PC card, older desktop pc with ethernet port.
Now, new house, new situation:
I have just purchased a new laptop with wifi and an all in one wifi printer.
The older pc is going to be in a basement. I did not rough in any connections. The laptop and printer will be upstairs where the connection is. There is a cinderblock wall in between the two computers. Can I use the equipment I have (stated above) and set up a completely wireless network to include the basement desktop with excellent signal strength? What new hardware (if any) do I need? Is it as simple as buying a wireless usb adapteer for the desktop?
Desktop runs xp home. Laptop runs xp pro, if that matters.
Forgive me if I’m clueless, but I want to get it right from the start.
