    Hi all, getting a laptop in a few days and would like to hook it up to my network. Wirelessly, of course, as its all the rage. Problem is I havn't got a clue about wireless networks, and I'm by no stretch of the imagination a computer novice. I just wanted to clear up some things before I try and set this baby up.

    I've got an Aolynk DR814 router (I'm with smart) With a desktop and an Xbox hooked up to it. Basically All I wanna know is do I need to buy a whole new router or is there a way for me to hook say a wireless modem(router?I don't know the difference between a wireless modem and a wireless router, do I need a wireless router if I allready have a wired one?) up to my Aolynk and connect my laptop to the modem and connect to the internet because my modem is connected to my wired router.

    Any help is mucho appreciated.

    cheers

    You could get a new wireless router and use that for all three, or you could get a wireless access point, connect that to the wired box and use the laptop through that.

    Personally, given the choice I'd go with the first one, less clutter and one more free power point on the wall :)
