How does a Wireless Router work?

by mongboyjeff . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

I now have 4 computers on a non-wireless router(D Link, Model DI-704). I recently purchased a New 5100 Dell Inspiron Laptop and a Dell Truemobile 1150 Wireless PC Card. My brain cells just are not what they used to be. I tried in vain to set up not only my PC Card, but, also Printer Sharing and didn’t realize that my router is just an Ethernet cable plug in. It finally came to me that I need a Wireless Router(Mainly for the Laptop). I purchased a Dell Truemobile 2300 802.11B/G Wireless BB Router, which is in transit.
If I just want to connect my Laptop, do I only need a USB Cable? Would you suggest that I place all four computers(3 Desktops & 1 Laptop) on the new router? I must admit that I’ve made mistake after mistake, but, how can I do this? Should I create a Lan?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Jeff
