There is a CISCO Linksys E2500 router attached to the Oklatel DSL modem. I had a 50 ft. ethernet cable physically plugged into a desktop PC running Ubuntu. Mice damaged that cable, and it is an ongoing battle to keep them out, so this could happen again (which I would like to avoid).
I have been made aware that I could plug Edimax wireless dongles into the USB ports on both of my desktops, but I can't get to anywhere to buy them before they close. (75 miles each way).
I have a Netgear RangeMax Wireless 150 which I have tried unsuccessfully in the past to configure to act as a switch or hub or repeater so that I can eliminate the ethernet cable, plug two desktops into the Netgear and have the Linksys control the lan.
I am getting conflicting answers to whether this can be done or not - probably because it is a lot easier to just buy a dongle and be done with it. I am hoping one of the brilliant people here can tell me how to configure this so I can get back to work - or at least let me know that it isn't possible.
