Yes, if your wireless router is separate. You don't have to keep any particular computer that's on the network turned on.

Yep, you can use the wireless network with other computers if you configured the router correctly and if the other computers also have a wireless card or receiver.

Yes you can. As Long as the router is on. And you don't have any specific security settings that would disable other pc's from making a wireless connection.

Even it quite isn't any longer completely shield as a results of fact somebody could hook up with your router once you're related; on occasion without you even understanding. installation a password to your router is extremely ordinary and could on occasion be performed using a wizard. in the experience that your router got here with an installation driving force or an installation website, you may log in to the router (you might have had to try this to set undemanding settings to your router). in case you haven't any longer logged into the router in the past, you may communicate over with the learning that got here with the router. they are going to inform you what the default password and username is. The password it relatively is used to log in to the router isn't the comparable one that secures your community. throughout the time of your router's preliminary setup, the wizard could or won't instruction manual you thru steps to set a secure practices password. If no longer, you will could locate the risk-free practices web site (on an identical time as logged onto the router) and assign a sparkling username and password.

Yes... as long as you're not using you're "main computer" as your wireless access point. If you have a wireless router that you use as your wireless access point, you can use any computer with it.
