Solve : Wireless setup.. network bridge confusion?

1.	Solve : Wireless setup.. network bridge confusion?
Answer» I really appeciate any help with this.. I have my main computer (Vista) set up with a new AT&T DSL modem. I have Netgear WGT624 wireless set up for the 2nd computer and for wifi throughout the house. For some reason my computer is connecting through the wireless connection. (which wouldnt be needed am I right?) I know it's how I setup the network bridge.. I have no idea what Im doing there. I fooled around with it and then my husband lost his wifi connection. So now we are both connected but bothing using wifi on the two computers. Quote For some reason my computer is connecting through the wireless connection. Is it a desktop? We used to have a Desktop computer RUNNING downstairs and is connected wired(LAN) and at the same time via wifi by a modem and wireless router because of an added wireless card installed,configured/enabled. Hi JASON thanks for responding Yes, the two computers are both desktops. I'd like for this one to not hook up with the wifi signal, and just go thru the wired route.. that WAY it doesnt take away the bandwidth of the signal.. but I dont understand how to do that thanks in advance.Quote from: SuzanneTexas on January 20, 2011, 09:19:50 PM Yes, the two computers are both desktops. I'd like for this one to not hook up with the wifi signal, and just go thru the wired route.. OK, then just connect a cable to it. Quote from: SuzanneTexas on January 20, 2011, 09:19:50 PM that way it doesnt take away the bandwidth of the signal.. I think that's not a significant issue. You'll probably notice no DIFFERENCE whether both computers are using a wireless connection or one is wired and one wireless. Quote I'd like for this one to not hook up with the wifi signal, Since you mention it was a desktop connecting at the same time on your router(wired,wireless)probably by an added wireless card, could you confirm this by looking at the notification bar/area for the status of these connections? If given you are both connected at the same time which is possible on a desktop and wants to be sure that there is no loss bandwith under this condition, run a speedtest by: 1. Remove LAN(wired) connection and used the wifi signal via the wireless card installed and run the speedtest and then check upload, download speed. 2. Connect the LAN connection and run both signals then run another speedtest, compare... 3. Then lastly, disable wireless card then used alone the LAN connection and run the speedtest and check the difference and look for any discrepancy while another machine is connected and using the bandwith by running ALSO a speedtest on this 3 conditions.
