Can I use a router for wireless internet connection with a dial up connection?  Is there any other option ?

From what I understand, you have dial up Internet and you want to share it wireless?\nYou would have to find a wireless router that will allow you to plug in a phone jack and make a dial up connection. Have a look at the links below, I'm not sure if they have routers like that.\nAnother alternative is if you have another computer, connect it to the dial up, as well as connect it to the wireless router. Then enable Internet sharing in Windows XP and this should work.\n\nHope this helps...

yes, you need a router, linksys or netgear, fairly cheap.  You should have one anyway if you are using windows.  Easy to do.  Wireless router with a wireless card in yoru laptop will solve all your problems, you will wonder how you got around without wireless to begin with

connect to the router using a computer that is already connecting to the router...i.e. computer connected wiredly. usually...depending on the router...you connect using web browser...and in the address type in 192.168.0.1 and it should connect to your router...then set up the router to send wireless signals for your computer to connect wirelessly. Then on your computer, search for access point and connect...and there you go your connected

Actually you don't need a router. Buy a switch -  much cheaper and will do the job for you. Or... you can buy another network adapter and configure it. Example:\nComputer1 (allready have a link to internet) has 2 NIC's (1 which exists and 1 you have to buy)\nComputer2 (the one you want to use on internet too) has 1 NIC\n!!!now, you can configure computer1 using ICS (Internet connexion sharing) - if you are using Microsoft Windows XP -> this will let you have internet on the computer2. Xp will do almost all settings for you... It's easy.

yes. wireless can only be high-speed. cant have wireless dialup. the network administrator can limit the speed from each computer on the network, but it's still considered high speed.

You need to have a router. Linksys is a good one. It's easy set up. And also if your laptop does not come with a built in wi-fi, you will need a card to connect to your router.

u don't need internet to access ur router... just open the browser and type the IP address of the router... if it's wireless u need to plug the laptop with the router...

you'll need your computer to have a modem installed if it has one then you can use dial up

Well.. dial up sucks.. and i suggest you stay away from it. I suggest you buy this service from Verizon... it gives you wireless access to the internet... i think its only like 20$ a month. I would buy it but all my ffriends and family have a wifi connection.

That will really depend on the router, particularly if it allows a wireless computer to log into it.  For security reasons, some routers will only allow settings to be changed by a computer with a physical, wired connection.\n\nBecause all routers are different, your best bet is to determine the make and model of the router, then visit the manufacturer's website to try and obtain the owner's manual, assuming you don't have it available.  You may have to temporarily connect one computer with an ethernet cable to do the initial setup.  Whether or not the router requires a wired connection, it's usually a configuration tool (attainable at the mfr's website) or just opening up a browser and entering in a specific IP address (192.168.0.1 is a common one) to access the controls for the router, including WEP/security settings.\n\nGood luck and hope that helps some!

Wait... I'm a bit confused. Do you want to use wireless internet, or use your cell phone for dial up internet? For the first, wireless internet, you need a broadband service provider, a wireless router, and a wireless card for your pc. For the second, using your cell phone for dialup you need... oh hell I know there's a way to do this, but I only know it works with laptops, not pcs. It's complicated, but this site can explain, for laptops, anyhow: http://www.bmyers.com/public/938.cfm?sd=30 For a pc... honestly it would just be easier to get a phone jack installed in the basement.

Any model will work, it is just a standard cable connection, the router will have a setup wizard, just set it up to be a cable connection, not pppoe, plug in the computer and away you go...

Yes.. Get a wireless router, plugged from your WIRED router into the WAN port of the Wireless router, make sure that the WIRELESS router is pointing to your WIRED router as the gateway, and ALSO make sure the Internal IP addresses are different. Also, get a wireless NIC card. That's it :)

Please be more specific .. like wat kind of internet connect do u have (Dial up , Cable,etc) what operating system u are using, Are you using Active Switch or Router,Etc

Easy. You need to get a wired router. I would generally recommend Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL router, if you have a cable or DSL internet connection. If you can find routers that fit your computers, then I suggest you get them. If you need more steps after that, IM me.

You can depending on the network that you'll be plugging into. I'd suggest using a "Wireless Access Point" in place of the router. It will do the same thing, without the headaches that can come from putting a router in that location.\n\nIf you want to use a router, check to see what the admin has for issuing IP's. Set your routers "WAN" side config to what is needed to gain an IP, and verify that the router was issued an IP. Once that is done, make sure that your routers LAN IP range is NOT the same as your WAN's range. (eg. WAN IP's are 192.168.0.1-255, set LAN's IP ranges to 192.168.1.1-255) This will help prevent problems in the future.  \n\nWhat you are trying to do is possible, it all depends on how you want to make it happen. Using an "access point" might be a bit more expensive, but it will just be plug and play. Using a router will work, but it will be a bit more involved and might cause more problems in the future. Good luck.

Absolutely will not work.  Dial up modems are completely different technology than a broadband modem.  You must get a broadband modem.
