We have a laptop that doesn't have a network card so can't connect it to the router with the other pcs. We have a wireless router .... it's a router on it's own, not with a modem in it laying around unused. Could I plug the wireless router into my normal router and connect the laptop that way as the lappy has a wireless network card? TIA

So the laptop has no ethernet ports but has wireless built in, is this correct?

Sorry about the delay replying. Yes the laptop has a wireless card which has been used before with a wireless router before it belonged to me. It has no ethernet ports.

The one that's being used at the moment is a netgear DG814. The other one is a Linksys wireless G WRT54G-UK.

Hi Jaynee, couldn't you just use the wireless router as your main wired & wireless router?
