Pancake Posted 22 December, 2009 Share Posted 22 December, 2009 Off to my folks place at Xmas and they don't have wireless there as they only have a single pc. That is connected to bband via USB. I'm planning on taking my iPod with me so I'm trying to find an easy way to get wireless connectivity. If I also took a Belkin USB wireless nic stick and plugged that in, can I share the Internet connection via this to 1 or more wireless devices?

St Landrew Posted 22 December, 2009 Share Posted 22 December, 2009 Depends on the connections of the hardware. If there are enough ins and outs, no doubt you'll be OK. Remember to take your installation CD. Do remember to leave it as you found it when you leave, Pancake. Otherwise, you'll be making a quick return trip.

hamster Posted 22 December, 2009 Share Posted 22 December, 2009 Pancake, I have one of these little bluetooth things: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11866 I don;t know if it would do what you want but you are wecome to borrow it until new year if you wish, it works fine for transferring files between my laptop and my phone, but as I am not techie you'd have toask a SWF nerd if you'd get interweb through it too. It's about the size of your thumbnail btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewsta Posted 22 December, 2009 Share Posted 22 December, 2009 Pancake, you should be able to plug the USB Wireless into the PC and set it up as an Access Point sharing the connection.
