Best Answer

For such purposes you need at least two subnetworks. One adapter cannot be in the same time in both of them. Thus you cannot do that. If you connect your PC through wireless to another PC, and that PC is connect to the router with a LAN cable that it's doable.

Do you need an Xbox 360 wireless network adapter if you have another wireless adaptor?

I am not going to say it is impossible for a different adapter to work, just unlikely . The Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter was made specifically for that purpose, so it is unlikely that a normal adapter will work if attached to the Xbox as they most likely will not be compatible.

This is one of the reasons why I don't like this wireless adapter. It can only be used for an Xbox. There is another technology called powerline that can be used to replace wireless. Check this out: http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/en_US/images/abn/2009/com/pcon/netgear_pwrline/netgear_powerline.swf You can get this right at Best Buy and it costs the same as the Xbox wireless adapter.

Do you need a special power adapter to network laptps to desktops?

No special power adapter is needed, because each device, is charged by it's own adapter. If laptops and desktops are connected by a wireless router, for example, the router will have it's own power adapter. However, to establish a wireless connection with a desktop , a laptop must have a wireless USB Wi-Fi adapter. This particular adapter has nothing to do with powering the device. It simply transmits signals to connect with a desktop, another laptop, PDA, cell phone, etc.

Do you need a router to connect a desk top computer to wireless internet?

What every wireless network has is a WAP (Wireless Access Point). A router is the best choice and you only need one computer (a laptop with a wireless Network card will do just fine)...The WAP in turn, hooks up to either your phone line or cable and then off to your Internet Service Provider so you can get Internet access. So I guess to answer your questioin, no you do not need a desktop. Just a Wireless Access Point (router) and your laptop with a wireless network card is it.

What do you need to be able print from a wireless network?

There are two options. First, you connect the printer to a computer which has a wireless connection and share the printer for network users. Second, if your wireless router supports Print server, you can connect the printer directly to the router and configure print server options in order to get access to the printer through wireless network.
