Help in sharing DSL connection to a laptop

[afrasay]

yun wireless router may mga port din for your RJ connectors kaya pede mo din kabit yun desktop mo dun, then yun laptop mo via wireless access.

you can not go wrong with this. i am using the same and 1 desktop 1 laptop din ang gumagamit. 1 wall is too thin para bumaba signal mo, i even use the notebook downstairs and even outside the garage. and they are right, even if the desktop is off , the laptop may still use the same connection. up to you if you want a password or not so your neighbors will not have free access.got my linksys for 1.5t from a friend, second hand siya. dito sa states ang mura ngayon event he belkin is really cheap. if only i have buyers i would have brought home some.

magagamit mo internet connection basta naka-on yung router and dsl modem.

stand alone na kasi yung mga router na nabanggit above (I also use linksys). Kung gusto mo kunin mo yung model ng linksys na secured (password required) pag merun ibang maglo-log. Para hindi maki free-ride kapit bahay mo.

Yung linksys merun lang initial configuration set-up, para marunong itong mag-dial ng kusa sa dsl line....once na set-up na ok na...bale even without the computer it will connect itself to the internet whenever naka-on ang router and modem and broadcast the internet connection.

If you have a surge protector and UPS (I use APC na tig P4000 lang), maganda rin to protect your modem and router from current fluctuations and surges. Pero kung kumikidlat, kalasin mo pa rin ang wall connection.

tumingin ako sa villman kanina, wala stock ng WRT54G.. ang available lang ay WRT54GL * 3,498.. ask ko yung tindera kung ano kaibahan, di daw nya alam. wala kasi tech nila kaya di masagot..hehe

if this model is ok, i'll get it tomorrow..

L stands for Linux operating firmware...

[Elroi]

so yung L ang pwede sa Linux OS.. tama ba? win xp naman kasi OS ko..

meron din kasi WRT54GC (3,090), WRT54GS (3,990) at WRT54GL (3,490).. nalilito na ako, kadami pala ng modelo..hehe

WRT54GC is the compact wireless router, mas mahina ang signal nito.
i don't know what S is for.
hanap ka nalang ng basic WRT54G para sure. punta ka nalang sa cyberzone sa mga SM malls, siguradong meron dun.

[Elroi]

okay, i'll just look around for the WRT54G model..

thanks to all those TECHIE tsikoteers who responded..
