I'm a bit of a noob and I need some help setting up a wireless network in our home.
We have a primary desktop computer connected to broadband internet through a Billion ADSL modem/router, running Windows 2000. The modem/router is connected to the computer via a USB cable, and there is an empty LAN port.
We also have two laptops. One is running Windows XP and I use it at school, on a network.
The other is running Windows 98 SE, and used to run on a network at mum's work, but now its had its LAN card removed.
We require a network to share files, the internet connection and the printer installed on the primary computer. We have a two story house, with one brick wall on the inside, the rest of the walls are plaster and wood. Wired networking is not an option.
I have had at look at the D-Link 802.11g products and it looks like this is the way to go.
What do I need to do and buy to set this all up?
Any help would be much appreciated and please try to keep it as simple as possible
