    machan story is this,:dull::dull::dull::dull::dull::dull::dull:

    i have a router in my place and it has both rj45 & usb connectivity.we only use rj45.so it has to be divided into 4persons,so then added 5port switch to that.
    1rj45 occupied for the adsl router and other 4 ports occupied for 4persons.now all 5ports are occupied.i need to configure wireless to this system to enable my laptop,mobile to access to the internet(i didnt have access to the net previously,i want to use wireless).but i cannot do that because those 2 (router and 5port switch) doesnt has the wireless. if anyone can tell me how do i get through this situation?:oo::oo::oo::oo::oo::oo::oo::oo::oo:

    if i have to purchase another hardware part(wireless router or smtin),pls mention with price.:nerd::nerd::nerd::nerd::nerd::nerd::nerd: and how do i do that?

    Get a wireless Access Point and plug it to the switch. The Wireless Access Point will give the WIFI network and your existing router will give the internet connection for it.
    By the way, where the hell did you get a 5 port switch ? they usually go by multiples of 4.
    If that switch really is a 5 port switch, replace it with a 8 port switch.

    you'll have to replace that 5port switch with an 8 port switch. Then to get the WiFi network you'll have to add a Wireless Access Point. Then plug the existing LAN cables to the 8port switch and plug the Access Point to the 8port switch as well. Since it has 8 ports, you have enough ports for all the cables.

    Since you're in the middle east, try to get 3Com products for both the switch and the Wireless Access Point.
