# Need to train up on CS2 a bit more but anyhow...

# Swish :)
TJ: B3ta, halp!
I have a 4-port wired modem-router which is connected to 3 machines.
I have a laptop and I wish to connect it wirelessly to the modem.
The laptop has a built-in wireless network card thingy-ma-bobby.
Can I simply connect a wireless router (with a wire) to the remaining modem-router port and connect my laptop to the wireless router?

Hmm, toast or crackers?

# If your laptop has WIFI build in you don't need wire.
Connect toowireless thingamy

# Yes is the answer you're looking for.
The laptop connects via WiFi to your (newly purchased) wireless access point, which then routes traffic to your (non-wireless-enabled) modem / router.

Thanks for your kind help, all of you :)
Toast it is!

# No problem.
Edit: I'll forego the toast, if that's ok and take the beer option please.

# Yep.
That should work fine. That's basically my setup.
