OK,I helped people with their computers,now I need some help.:)?

Question

I have a desktop with a regular router hooked up to it,
it works fine. I also have a laptop with wireless capability
& an old wireless router. The only way I can connect to
my network with laptop is to plug a wire in the desktop.(BIG PAIN IN THE ***. Otherwise,what's the NIC for?)
I was wondering if there was some way to hook up the wireless
router to the same computer as I have the regular router on.
Thanx.

Answer 1

Why not just remove the regular router and install the wireless router in its place????? The you can connect using wires and wireless....

Answer 2

NIC stands for Network Interface Cards.
