How to configure a wireless and a wired router?

SoCal asked:


Right now, I have a Netgear Wireless Router and my teenage child goes on Myspace. I wanted to make my network more secure so, I wanted to run a non-wireless router into my teenager’s computer and then plug the wireless router into the wired router. How complicated is this?

Or, should I just upgrade to the 802.11n wireless router with a double firewall option.

How does built-in wireless connection work in a laptop?

wireless
lexie asked:


I understand that I can get wireless internet connection if my laptop has a built-in wireless card for as long as I’m in a “hotspot” where I get connection from radio waves. How true is that? I am planning to get a laptop, but I’m not sure if where we live now is actually a “hotspot” or not where I could use it for regular web surfing? We do have broadband internet for our desktop now, but I don’t want to have a wireless router connected to that as it is connected to my work/company’s computer, I trust wired network better for that. If there is a DSL or Cable internet provider in our area, will that give a big possibility that I will be able to get good signal for the laptop’s wireless internet connection? Where do built-in wireless cards get their signals anyway? Is it possible that I will be getting a signal from other people’s wireless connection? Can anyone explain this to me? I’m all confused. Thanks a lot!

How do I hookup a wireless laptop and a wired desktop to my cable modem?

wireless
Chris D asked:


I have a brand new Dell laptop with a Dell 1370 Internal Wireless (802.11b/g, 54Mbps5) and an older desktop. I want to hookup the laptop wirelessly.

I know I need a router and a wireless access point. However, I would also like to have a firewall in there.

Do all routers have firewall protection in them?

Is there any type of firewall/ router wireless access point product on the market that has all three in one?
