I just got a new laptop and am clueless as to how to set up a network. MY main issue is internet access. My family has a desktop computer that is connected to the internet via cable. I want to have access to the internet on my laptop by using the cable connection that they are already using. I was looking at getting the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router - WRT54G, but am unsure if that what I need. I read that some people had to buy the Linksys Wireless - G notebook Adaptor as well but since my computer comes with Dell Wireless 1350 (802.11 b/g) Internal Wireless would I still have to buy the wireless adaptor? Basically im clueless and any adive would be greatly appriecaiated.
 
well you would need the router.... and dell nic would work fine since they both use the same standard and chipset. both broadcomm. contact linksys for help.
 
contect linksys instead of dell since dell dont support thier wirless since it is not made by dell... and plus linksys will help you better. defiantly!
