    Need help adding wireless network

    Hey all, I'm currently running a wired Linksys router to 2 computers through a cable modem but am thinking about purchasing a laptop in the near future. However, I want the laptop to have a wireless connection. Is it possible to add an existing wireless network to my already stable wired network? (My current router has 4 ports btw)

    Quite frankly it costs almost the same to buy a wireless G access point as it would to just buy a linksys wireless G router that has a 4 port switch that work both hard wired and wireless.

    true. it's easier to have one box, rather than adding a WAP. adding another WAP isn't that bad, but there is a little more work involved. price it out and see.
