wireless in the home

Did you know that there are 2 ways to setup your wireless router. yes you can set it up as a standard router or you can set it up as an airport / access point. Depending on the number of computers in your home it might be wise to do this. Lets say you have more than 4 computers in your home. I have 5 so I need an 8 port router or I need 2 4 port routers.

I have a 8 port Netgear Router business class router for the main incomming router and I have a belkin wirless router for wireless activity. Now I can place the wireless router higher in the house so that I can get more range from it. and I dont have to expend a lot a cat5 cable to have wired connections also so you will save in the cat5 cabling.

Setting it to work as an airport is easy to do and you can assign that router a fixed ip address.
