Even if it doesnt come with the package, Ethernet cable's pretty cheap. Like 8rs per foot or something like that.

How to set up additional computers

If the computer you want to add to your network does not have built-in wireless network support, install a wireless network adapter.
Windows XP automatically detects the new adapter and notifies you that it found a wireless network.

Now connect your computer to your wireless network
Note: These steps apply only if you're using Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). If you haven't installed SP2, visit Microsoft Update to install it before connecting to the ad hoc network.
1.
Right-click the Wireless Network icon in the lower right corner of your screen, and then click View Available Wireless Networks.

Note: If you run into any problems, consult the documentation that came with your network adapter. Don't be afraid to call the manufacturer's technical support department for help.
2.
The Wireless Network Connection window appears and displays your wireless network listed with the SSID you chose. If you don't see your network, click Refresh Network List in the upper left corner. Click your network, and then click Connect in the lower right corner.

3.
Windows XP prompts you to enter a key. Type your encryption key in both the Network key and Confirm network key boxes, and then click Connect.

Windows XP shows its progress as it connects to your network. After you're connected, you can close the Wireless Network Connection window.
Repeat these three steps on each computer that you want to connect to your ad hoc wireless network.
Now you're ready to browse the Web wirelessly, from any computer you add to your home network.

FOR Windows Vista and 7

1. Click on Start (Windows icon) and type wireless. Click on Manage wireless networks.
   
2. Click on Add to add a network.
   
3. Click on Create an ad hoc network.
   
4. Click on Next.
   
5. Enter a name for your network and configure the security options. Click on Next when you are done.

lolzzz... u r in same trouble as i was... u cant run modem and router both on pppoe... i tried solving for 2 days but cudnt solve it .....

 

[fajoo24]

Ok people, can you tell me what type of signal strength you are getting and how far from the router? secondly, incase of making lan and sharing files, what type of transfer rates you are getting? I am getting very slow transfer rates when trying to move or copy big files...is there any trick to improve this?

 

[kkkk]

You have wireless N router, it should transfer as fast as a Direct lan cable i.e 1mb/s... but only if you hav a wireless N card in ur PC too... otherwise ur router will act like wireless G with transfers of 5mb/s Max in close proximity and... otherwise 2-3mb at 3-4 meters range

 

[fajoo24]

well i have bot n router and n adapter......i have now placed the pc on a height and now i am getting very good signals i..e 50-60% and the connection speed is also very good remaings between 81-121 mbps, so the transfer speed have increased dramtically. i am pretty happy now

 

[Ibbu Bhai]

@fagoo: i told u na...to get LINKSYS or D-link Router, yet u didnt follow us and got a stupid router who never give 100% signals at any cost. Wireless N router's are also avaliable in LINKSYS and D-link. But their a lil bit expensive but..wats the big deal. Anywayz....ur gona cry in Future, wat worthless Router u have bought. Still i may recommend u to get LINKSYS OR D-Link router ASAP. Rest its upto u.

^ brother i am very much satisfied with the performance of the router and adapter
