How can I get another computer (in the room next door) to get internet access?

Question

Our main PC accesses the internet via BT on a Voyager 210. I am a technophobe so please answer in "idiot language" - so I understand! lol

Answer 1

Purchase a wireless Router... this will replace your existing modem. Purchase a wireless adapter for your PC next door.. simple. This should cost no more than about £70

Answer 2

Your other PC needs to have a wireless connection to the internet. This means it can use the internet without being connected to the phone line as well. This can be with either an internal wireless card or an external one. If the walls are fairly thick the signal between the 2 computers will not be good so an external one would be better. The internal one, obviously, fits inside your PC and needs to be connected. If you are a technophobe then again an external one would be easier. Just connect to PC install and away you go. Good luck.

to set up a 2nd p.c you need a network cable(http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6750316/Trail/C%24cip%3D50277.Office%2C%2BPC%2Band%2Bphones%3EC%24cip%3D50315.PC%2Bconsumables%2C%2Bsoftware%2Band%2Bessentials%3EC%24cip%3D50323.Computer%2Bcables%2C%2Bleads%2Band%2Bplugs.htm) and a spare port on the back of your voyager 210
plug the network cable into the spare port,and lay the cable into the next door,then secure the cable to the skirting board using cable clips ,then plug the cable into the other p.c
you then need to install the bt broadband set up disk into the 2nd p.c and when prompted press ethernet as your choice of connection
im not sure how many spare ethernet ports the voyager 210 has but you can use all them up,but speeds will be affected the more p.c,s you have attached to the router
any problems let me know
good luck

Answer 4

You will need to network them together. Using a network cable. You then use the Main PC to create a Home network using the network wizard under network connections. (Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connection -> Add new connection) It should walk you through the setup step by step. You need to make sure both computers have network cards. Most modern PCs (anything 5 years old and upwards) with have them as standard.
Good luck!

Answer 6

I would link it wirelessley with a Belkin wireless router 2.4ghz - 802.11g to connect to your broadband and then install the belkin aerial into the spare computer with the disc supplied.

The aerial will seek out the router and you will be able to use the internet on both.

Answer 7

you need to get a router. so you plug in your modem into your PC (as it is now) then add the router the PC (one with internet), then from the router add a wire to the new computer.

better off asking the sales man/women your situation. pcworld is the best option.
