Can I create a wireless network without internet? I use my phone to access the internet so I don't have always on internet access. I would most likely set up the router to pick up Internet from my desktop wireless card when I connect via Bluetooth. But I do have a wireless printer, a desktop, a media player for my tv, and am fixing to buy a laptop. I would like to use a wireless router to create the network because my media player doesn't want to pick up my ad hoc network on my desktop so I can't push my videos to my tv. And I would like to also be able to access my files on my desktop hard drive using my laptop but not have to activate an ad hoc network. So can I create a wireless network using a router without any Internet service? What about broadband wireless hotspots. Are those routers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
