Hi, I have what I believe is a wireless router. It is a Belkin model. I used to use it at home. It would plug into my parents' PC modem and I guess convert the signal to wireless? This enabled me to use my laptop from all around the house, while they still used their hardwired connection.
My question is whether I can use this router to set up a wireless connection in my dorm room. My roommate and I are currently using internet cords plugged into a box-type thing (don't know they proper term, sorry) to access the internet. So yeah, I was just wondering if you think, from my unfortunately vague and probably confusing description, that I could use this router to set up a wireless connection.
(Note: I know that other girls on my floor have set up wireless connections in their room. And no, my school does not have already a uniform wireless access, because we're lame.
)
If you think that this is possible to do, how should I set it up? At home, one cord goes from the Belkin into an outlet, one internet cord goes from the Belkin into the modem, and another internet cord goes from the modem into the PC computer. How should I set this up, using only the router and the box-type thing we have in our room?
Thankssssss
