Hi I currently have a wired network of eMac running Tiger and PC running Windows 2000/XP. It shares an NTL broadband connection via a wired router.
I have just purchased a D-Link 624 wireless router. I wanted this particular model as it also features a 4 port switch so I can continue to use my wired ethernet connections from the two machines and then slowly when the time is right move each machine over to wireless. I have a few questions. 1. My eMac is a 1Ghz model with USB 1.1, what options other than an Airport Extreme card do I have for going wireless on it? 2. Does anyone know of any cheap cards/USB dongles for the PC that makes it wireless? 3. If with my current setup of wired Mac and PC I installed the D-Link 624 (replacing my current router), would I then have a wireless network open to people getting in? 4. Would my friend with his laptop be able to connect to my wireless network when he comes to mine, sharing files and broadband connection?
