Can anyone help please. I currently connect my home pc and my work laptop using an Alcatel USB modem by manually connecting the modem into the USB port of whichever deveice I am using. I would like to use be able to connect wireless from my laptop and I believe there are a number of way I can do this.
1) Connect the modem to the PC and use wirelss NIC's in the pc and laptop along with internet connections sharing. I have heard some wirelss NIC cards support peer to peer, would this mean I don't need to buy a wireless gateway? I am not too keen on this method as I don't want to have to change the laptop domain settings to a home workgroup every evening.
2) I think the best method is to use a wireless router and couple of wireless NIC cards. The problem is wireless routers all seem to connect to the ADSL modem through an ethernet port but my Alcatel modem is USB. Is there an adapter I can buy or are there any wireless routers with USB ports to connect to the modem?
Thanks
