-=PCTechTalk=- Re: router?

Hi Sandy,
it should be easy enough to hook up the computer with a router.

The router will receive the high speed internet connection from the modem
Plug a Cat5 cable into the out from the modem 
Plug the cat5 cable to the computers into the out jacks on the router.
I use a hub from one of the outputs from the router to allow 
more wired computers on the network.

Follow the set up instructions for the router to set up the wireless.
The computer will have to have wireless modems built in or add 
wireless cards to them

I have a used both Netgear and Linksys wireless routers with success.

This is a good site: www.practicallynetworked.com/

different 
computers-
My questions are,  1. how difficult is it all to hook up,  2.  She has an
OLD 
Gateway from 1998 - has windows 98 - would I be able to put a router on
this 
machine so I could access high speed? She has dial up as I do now.   Oh
yes, 
her CD Drive no longer works, so we don't have access to that either 
sigh... 
wish I could talk her into a new machine....   IF this will work, what kind
of 
router do I need?

thanks for any help,
Sandy
