How do I link pc up....

[Mark Dj]

How do I link my pc upstairs to the router down stairs? I don't have an internet connection upstairs. I have a router downstairs. Cheers for any info....

wireless router downstairs?

 

[Mark Dj]

Yes it's wireless, the only things I have on it are my PS3

 

[rik1083]

does your pc upstairs have wireless card/wireless usb dongle?

 

[Mark Dj]

No, it used to be the pc I had downstairs til I upgraded it. Just had a lead in the back for the internet

 

[rik1083]

then you need to make it wireless.. easiest way is to buy a wifi usb dongle
they should be widely available e.g. maplins, b&q, probably even asda or tesco
about £20-£30

 

[Mark Dj]

Sounds good to me. Cheers

Either that or buy power of ethernet plug.

I've got a belkin PCI wireless card you can have for a tenner Mark? I've no need for it since fitting the powerline stuff

 

[Mark Dj]

I will take it Matt, I was thinking of getting a wirless card for it. Is it easy enough to use? Cheers

Yes mate, you just plug it into a spare PCI slot on the inside of the PC, and install the belkin software.

If you want it Mark, drop me a PM and we'll sort out payment/postage etc.

or simply buy a 50ft ethernet cable (should be enough... if not get a 100ft)

 

[Mark Dj]

Lol, it's sorted now. I bought that card off Matt
