Folks,
I have a ASUS A7N8X-E DELUXE NFORCE2 LAN DDR400, sata.
The store told me some time ago that I have a wired network card which is integrated onto the ASUS motherboard.
I just bought a wireless Linksys WRT54G router. I already have an ADSL modem.
1) Will my wired network card work with the new router?
2) My PC's control panel has the "Wireless Network Set Up Wizard". Does this mean I can move my PC anywhere around my home, given that it will wirelessly network with my router --> modem --> the internet thereon?
3) What are the reasons for having a wireless PCI adaptor card which fits into a PC's available PCI slot? Is it when one has a laptop in a house? Or 2 computers in different parts of a house?
4) How does that ethernet cabling issue work? I understand that the router cable is connected to the modem, and then an ethernet cable connected to a PC for configuration. After settings configuration, that cable's disconnected right?
5) Could you explain what people mean about how a "wireless network adaptor" removes cable probs and drilling/cabling needs -- scenarios would be great.
Still learning the issues. Sorry for the noob qus.
Thanks in advance,
RS
