wireless network help

[fade.point]

I have a wireless network set up at home along with a LAN network. Is there a way I can merge the two so that family members on wireless can access wired computers. I know its possible but I dont know how to do it. Any help?

Thanks!

If you have two routers (one wired, one wireless) consider swapping over to just the wireless one. That's the simplest solution.

A second option is to set up the networks so they see each other, but this is hit-and-miss in a Windows environment.

Obviously that doesn't solve the problem all the time, so your third option is to set up your wireless router as an Access Point. Wireless Access Points (or WAPs) just function as a bridge between wireless devices and the wired router, so any computers connecting by wireless should be on the same network as the wired computers.

Follow these directions to get your Wireless Router to work as a WAP.

This is a handy article for everyone to bookmark, since WAPs typically cost more than routers for some reason. You never know when you'll need one.
