Hello all,
I have been asked by a friend/client if I can install what appears to be a simple wireless network in his shop. Currently he has a wired network, main machine in the back office which is connected to broadband via a USB modem and a front-of-shop PC that is wired to the network and has file sharing enabled (+web-browsing).
He has a new centrino laptop and would like to have access to the network, also he has some older laptops (No wireless) that he would also like to access the (wirelsss) network.
So what is the simple solution here? just need some basic advice and an idea of what hardware I should be looking at. I'm also not sure if I can *bolt-on* a seperate wireless network to the exisiting wired-lan or should I be looking at making the whole network one *single* wireless jobby.
Sorry if this question has been asked before, I did have a read of these forums but didn't find any info. As you can guess I'm new to wireless!
