Hi,

I RENT out a floor in an apartment. The owner offers free WIRELESS internet. I want to connect to the wireless NETWORK with my wireless router and then connect my desktop to my router via ethernet port, to surf the net. Is this possible? My PC doesn't have a wireless card. I also have a LAPTOP which I use to wirelessly connect right now. Would using my router affect my laptop's ability to connect? I have a LinkSys Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT300N. I run Windows XP home on my desktop and laptop.

Thank you in advance for any help.
I did not try that before but what I should try is:
sett the SSID of your router to the same as the one that the apartment owner.
But acctualy I don't accualy buy your storry.
This will not work if the network is protected!(unless he has protected it with MAC securety and add you router Mac to list.)
LET me know if it worked
If you don't know how to do it let me know to.

What you normally should do is:
buy an adaptor

This info is based on guessing that the owner has linksys to.
