How can I share my high speed internet connection?
g_dub54 asked:
I have a laptop with high speed wireless internet connection. I live out in the country and that is the only option available for high speed connections. How can I share that high speed connection with my desk top computer? According to BestBuy Geek Squad, a standard wireless network will not work. Was the Geek wrong? Has anyone done this type of sharing?

try a wireless router
Wireless Router.
Get a wireless card for your desktop. Once installed, it can pick up the same signal as your laptop.
If you have mobile internet, the geeksquad guy was right. A standard WiFi adapter will not work.

Also your internet service is specifically only activated to work with the card you have…even if you had a 2nd card, it will not work.
put a wireless usb adaptor in you desktop pc, install the driver (from the cd that comes with the usb adapter) and connect to your network
Yep, wireless router for sure. I use Linksys,, but dlink and others are good too.
The router (once set up to do so) will assign separate IP addresses to each computer, allowing them to share the 1 IP address of the router.
The router will plug in to your cable/DSL modem. You computers can either communicate via wireless and/or direct cable to the router.
Since the router has the external IP address (assigned automatically by your ISP), that’s the only device exposed to the internet. This gives you some added security.
Good luck!
If your receiving your high speed through a satelite provider such as direct tv or one of the other satelite providers you just need to get a router but if your getting your high speed from a cell phone company such as verizon then you would need a seperate verizon wireless card for every system and pay probably per connection which wouldn’t be very cheap
