How do I configure a wireless router for internet sharing? How do I set the computers, like, I have a set up screen where you can configure several things and I have no idea what they are except for ad-hoc and "infrastructure" mode, which one must I choose? Plus, can wireless routers be harmful to my health, because aren't they like those huge cellphone antenas?



At the moment I only have the wireless cards, not the router, and does having any wall in the way affect the speed of such cards since I can see that it affects the "signal strength"?

Edit: And what is the difference between those routers that have only one antena and the ones that have several of them, does the antenna count change anything at all?

You want Infrastructure and Channel 6. Not sure about the last three... but a long as you have that, just set up the nics on the other PCs and it should detect your router automatically. From there.. all you'd need to do is use whatever console the nics use to find and connect to "internets" (the name of your router).

Thanks, but what is a nics?

network interface card, like a LAN card or a wireless card, or even a device built into your mobo for the same purpose

and no, wireless isnt harmful. if they were we would be screwed because wireless waves are all around us.

Wi-fi and cellphone signals are just radio waves. If radio were harmful, not only would you be a mutant, but your parents and your parents' parents would also be mutants.

Please don't post "youd be mutants lol", because it has been scientifically proven that living next to a cellphone antenna (I don't know how its called, it's the antenna that is not on the telephone itself) is bad to the health

And is there something I can do to increase the range of the router?

You can get a repeater (wireless hub that you can plug in anywhere) and/or (depending on who makes your router) an upgraded antenna on your router/ nic. Other than that.... some nics simply work better than others.

Oh yeah, that really backs up your point there.
That entire article is riddled with speculation and inconclusive studies, which if I am not mistaken is well outside of the bounds of what a rational person would consider "scientific proof that living next to a cellphone antenna is bad to the health."

Do you even read the sources you post?

Blah blah blah blah I want to know about routers not about your trolling.

What about protecting my "wireless network" to prevent people from putting files inside my computer and using my internet connections, how do I do that?

How do I set it up?

Alright, thanks!
