Sorry if this is a FAQ; it's a one-time situation for me and I
hope to be able to find the answer quickly.
I have recently moved into a home that already has a small
Ethernet network consisting of a cable modem connected to a
four-port router. Three of the ports are used for wired
connections to other Windows 2000 or XP computers. I would like
to connect a wireless router to the fourth port, and connect two
more Windows 2000 computers to that wireless router. Is this
possible? If so, any recommendations as to wireless routers,
adapters, and any other hardware that will be needed?
Many sincere thanks,
Greg |

It is recommended that you either replace the wired router with a wireless
router (all wireless routers have wired ports as well) or purchase a
Wireless Access Point to plug into the router. Never plug a router into a
router...

It should be possible to do this, by wiring the new router to the existing
router via their LAN ports (ie: not using the WAN port on the wireless
router).
Don't forget to disable DHCP on the second router; assuming you have DHCP
enabled on the first router, you can let the first router serve DHCP requests
for the entire network.
As for brands, any recognizable brand should work equally well...

It's not a question of whether or not it can be done, it's about keeping
things simple for non-techy-type people.
All too often people with experience offer complicated and overwhelming
solutions that intimidate the average user.
My advice is the same: K.I.S.S. Keep It Super Simple.

In this case, K.I.S.S. applies for another reason -- the existing
network is not mine to modify. I can only attach something to it;
I cannot replace elements of it. From all responses, it seems to
me that the WAP is the simplest solution. The cost seems to be
about the same either way.
Thanks to all who responded.
