Wired and Wireless Routers

by faile486 . Updated 19 years, 7 months ago

I’ve got a regular wired router plugged in to a cable modem. I’ve got a few desktop computers and a Xbox 360 connected to it. I’ve also got a laptop and a Wii, both of which have wireless capabilities, so I was pretty happy to get a wireless router for Christmas. The wireless router doesn’t have enough ports to connect the computers and 360, so I was hoping to use both the wireless and the wired routers.

Is it possible to put all this – at least two desktops, two laptops, a 360, a Wii and a printer – all on the same network? How do I make the wireless part of the network secure? Will I be able to share a printer between the wired and wireless computers? What about files?

Also, three computers are running Windows XP SP2, and one is running Vista Business.

Thanks in advance!
