- Adding a notebook to an existing LAN
- Posted by QuickSand on July 28th, 2005
My current setup is like the following:
D-Link DI-704 4-port DSL router is connected to 3 desktops with one
port unused.
I want to buy a notebook with a WI-FI connectivity built in.
I would like to connect a wireless connect point (WAP)to the remaining
DSL router port.
Before I buy a notebook, I would like to get all parts compatible with
one another. Which one do I need to decide first, WAP or notebook?

Neither, think about getting rid of the router and upgrading to a
wireless one. Nobody buys a standalone WAP, therefore they are extremely
expensive. Believe it or not it's cheaper to buy a router with a built
in WAP than to buy a standalone WAP.
As for the notebook, get whatever you like, you don't have to worry
about compatibility -- they all work with each other.
