Not sure if this is in the correct field but i need some good advice. I usually take my Laptop to work with me and could be at any area although not usually outside 15 miles or more from my base.
Most of the places i work do not have any access to the internet and this is a very frustrating at times. All i would like to know is how would i go about creating one of my home P.C's as a networking P.C using a wireless connection.I have 3 PC's at home one of which the children use. I have a wired router but is it possible to convert only one P.C of the three to a wirelss connection and the other two kept as they are.I have seen a Belkin which allows connection of 4 wired connections and 6 unwired. Would i need a PCI card for the lap top or could i buy a Belkin dongle and use this? Given the fact that i could be 20 miles from my own connection would these devices still be able to communicate with each other. Please if you can fill me in on any details i might have missed or any hardware or software that i would need to get my laptop up and running on a connection.
Any Help Please
Thankyou

You would need to be in a WiFi area to get a signal. Don't expect to connect to your own Router. Many places have WiFi signals but the only way to know for sure is to give it a shot with you laptop.

Here is some more information you can read:
