If you have 2 computers one is on a DSL line I want to add a wireless module for a wireless laptop to use when the other computer is turned off Will either computer be adversely affected by this setup?
If your wireless access point will be connected to the same ISP and your wireless laptop will connect to this access point, there is no single problem with this configuration. Just the bandwith of your internet connection will be shared amongst the two computers instead of only one. Practically means, that is one computer will be downloading some large file, the other computer may experience slower internet connection. But it depends on how fast is your internet connection.
Why your laptop did not detect wireless connection?
Several possible reasons. First, of course, is that the wireless signal is not there -- you're out of range. Or your wireless card could be turned off -- the wireless light is often a button that turns the wireless networking on and off, or there's a keyboard combo (often Fn/F2) that turns it on and off. Or the wireless access point could be set to not broadcast its name (SSID disabled) -- you need to know the name already, including UPPER and lower case, before you can tell your computer to connect. Or the standards are different: an 802.11n network access point may not see an 802.11g computer, or the computer may be running an out of date variant of the protocol, or the access point may be. And of course the network card itself may have failed; they are built cheap, and surprisingly often the transmitter part burns out.
