Can you answer dprohe’s question about DSL?:
I have a wirless westell 327w dsl modem and a linksys wrt54g router. My dsl will only connect in one jack in my house and my computers are on the other side of the house, keep in mind I have 5 computers running for a personal business, I dont want to fork out the money right now for wireless cards. Is there a way I can set up my linksys to my westell via wireless and keep my computers where they currently are?

DSL Feedback: i dont think so … but u can find really cheap wireless cardsin pci from newegg … i think ive seen some for under 12 bucks ..
DSL Feedback: no, its not possible to manage that yet…sorry….the cheapest thing to do, is buy 15 dollar wireless usb nic or card….if u look around they can be cheap…
DSL Feedback: Within a house, the wireless DSL modem should be sufficient to reach the computers on the other side of the house. This is assuming your house isn’t 10k square feet….
But, you can also set up your routers for bridge mode. This way, the linksys will wirelessly log onto the westell, and then rebroadcast the signal . it acts like a middle man. You can then plug in your computers into the linksys router.
I still think the best solution is the suck it up, buy wireless cards. Running wires is outdated, ugly, and cumbersome.
