My current computer setup is as follows: My computer is connected to the internet via an ethernet connection to an Actiontec wireless modem/router combination. I have a wireless capable printer cable connected through a usb port. I am running Windows 7. I want to make three wireless connections.
1.Disconnect the ethernet cable, and connect wirelessly to my wireless modem/routher and the internet.
2. I wish to connect wirelessly to my wireless enabled hp printer.
3. I wish to connect to my android smartphone by setting up a wifi hotspont on my computer.
I guess my general question is ...... do I need three different adapters to establish these connections, or can a single adapter provide more than one connection? I realize this is a substantially dumb question, but most of the info available on wireless networking is oriented to more complex networking, i.e. multiple computers, etc.
