There is some security with Wi-Fi. Especially with the newest routers.
Wireless is becoming very popular. So broadcasting to neighbors is highly
remote with improved WiFi products.

I got one uplink and that router sends the signal to another computer (USB
wireless Adapter). What I am asking is for a third computer can I use a
router to communicate with the uplink or another USB wireless adapter. I
know a USB wireless adapter will work, but I was wondering if a wireless
router can take the place of the adapter. I assume likely not since a

router
is made to send signals out. So can a router replace an wireless USB
adapter.

I can't seem to get a good answer from Radio Shack on this question, so

I
figured someone on here someone would know it. This is not a shortwave
question, but I figured there is a higher level of tech knowledge on

here
than Radio Shack workers. Verizon just sent me an upgraded wireless

router
for my DSL. I also have a second computer than communicates with the

router
via a USB adapter. Anyways, I had a Netgear wireless router that I was

using
but no longer need since Verizon sent their new and improved one. Can

this
Netgear router be used on a third computer to receive the DSL signal

from
the Verizon router OR will I need to pick up another USB adapter to

receive
a signal. I am not sure a router just transmits signals and maybe

doesn't
act as a receiver of signals, thus the need for the USB adapter. Any
information appreciated.
