PCA Forums

I have a DSL cable router with 4 PCs connected through a 4 port hub so I have no extra ports. One of the ports goes to an access point for my wireless laptop.
I'd like to add another PC that's rarely used but that one could be wired too.
If I decide to make the other PC wireless, getting a signal from the access point and assuming the signal will go that far (questionable), can it handle 2 PCs at the same time?

I can always unplug one, plug the cable into the other but might anyone have any good, inexpensive ideas short of buying an 8 port hub/switch or trying a wireless nic (if that'd work)?

is it possible to add a second NIC (wired) to a computer nearby the one your trying to add?
and just daisy chain it that way

Havent had 2 nics in one PC since buying the router but that's a good idea. Thanks.

I'd just get a bigger hub - or another hub and hook it to that you already have

we use that at work to add a pc in an office rather than run new cable

check the refurbs at belkin 0 real cheap the last time i looked

Added an in-expensive 5 port hub, daisy chained from a port in my DSL 4 port router, works fine. Thanks.
