can I use the NetgearWNR2000 Router ? ,
Have a windows XP with an internet provider also have a Windows laptop that is NOT hooked up to internet. I am computer illiterate. so do not know if I can use that router to get WIFI From my desktop to my laptop. the desktop windows XP is about 5 years old and the laptop which has never had an internet provider or been hooked up to internet is almost 3 years old.
Someone told me that they are too old to use that router, I cant afford to spend the money if it will not work. Nicki
if your desktop is wired to internet, unplug that cable and plug it into the router. Use another data cord to go from the router to the desktop. If the laptop is 3 yrs old it should be WiFi ready. Bring it to Best-buy and ask, they can see it and answer questions and get you what you need. They are very helpful!
