Wifi without router?

lee101 · 06-07-2005, 04:52 PM

Hi, i would like to set up a wireless network but do not want to buy a router, is it possible to do this just by buying 2 usb dongles, as i only want to be able to access files wirelessly on another PC? thanks

yea really... not to be promoting myself to much, but LlamaTronics sells crossover cables very cheap! Here is a link to them: http://www.llamatronics.com/comp/cables/rj45.html

Hope that helps!

If you do want to stick to wifi, yes, you should be able to do that. I forgot what that mode is right off, but there's suppose to be some way to do so. Heh, just never tried it myself.
