if modem has wireless capablity, then no need for a router
Is there a router that you can plug a laptop modem into so that I can get internet on my desktop also. The desktop would need ethernet and of course the laptop is usb. So is there a router out there that can do this?
You buy a wireless router, wire the desktop and router to the modem, and use the laptop by getting a wireless card or usb wireless adapter.
If you want to have internet on that laptop you need to be connected to internet provider which usually happens directly (connected to the modem) or indirectly (connected to the modem through wired or wireless router).
A router and the modem that will hook up to that router so it can provide the internet. Or you can wirelessly connect to the modem with Wi-Fi. You can also use a dongle for on-the-go internet.
You can connect your laptop to the Internet with a cable modem, sure. You will need an Ethernet cable to do that. If you want wireless internet, you will need a cable modem, and a wireless router as well.
Don't know 'why' but I solved my hot modem and hot router problem. Bought a cheap laptop pad (with the fans) at Big Lots ($8), plugged it into my router, set modem and router on it. They don't get hot anymore.
If you connect your modem to the router, and then using one of LAN port (router's) connect the PS3 to the router, you will not interfere with wireless signal at all.
No, they are different devices. A modem is used for computer, let's say a laptop. Whereas, a wireless router can be used for multiple computer connections, through high-speed internet.
Sorry you can not. The laptops internal modem is mostly a PSTN device. This means it can only be used by phone lines. ADSL and Cable modems work in a different way. If you want to connect a laptop and a PS3 to the Internet a Linksys Router with multiple LAN connections must be used. The setup is then: INTERNET | CABLE/DSL Modem | Linksys router | | LAPTOP PS3
If you wish to use the wireless network card built into your laptop, then yes, you would need a wireless router. Many ISP's provide you with a modem that also acts as a wireless router for your internet service. But if yours doesn't then you would need a wireless router in order to connect without cabling. But if you don't mind running a length of ethernet cable from your modem to your laptop, then you wouldn't need a router.
No, but you are going to need a wireless router, also known as an access point, between the laptop and the cable modem.
