Ok..

So, first, you have to buy a Wireless Router... I suggest to buy, Buffalo or Netgear...

NetGear KWGR614 is good...

You have to config your router in Router Config Panel via address - 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 mostly..

Avoid Netgear if you can, i have one that is in cupboard, real panicky, whenever I use it, post 3-4 days I always have to reset it. If possible get buffalo.

Dark,

I have wi-fi setup at home.

My desktop has windows xp and one on-board Ethernet and one pci ethernet.
Bsnl modem connected on-board port and Netgear WG602 on pci ethernet.

Now what i have done is i have made new bsnl broadband connection and from its properties i have selected internet sharing to my local area connection 2.

All ips are assigned automatically.

It is working smoothly.

Netgear sucks - I work for a WLAN chipset company and take my word for it - there are numerous bugs and BIG time performance problems in Netgear.

I'd strongly recommend Linksys 11g router for Home use. If you have the money go for the Linksys 11n routers!

sure it's really simple... just enter your pppoe details in the router page and make it dial to the modem which will establish connection with the pppoe server at Ip's end. then you can freely use both wireless and wired connections. it's your will :eek:hyeah: . you can use all the four ports in the router for wired connections and still use wireless :) . but remember your bandwidth will be shared equally . QOS depends on your router . setting up wi-fi is very very easy!
