Networking Question

[sugi123]

Ok, I have a Westell DSL router upstairs in the bedroom. I have my xbox downastairs, and also a laptop downstairs w/ a wifi card. I also have another comp downstairs also.

Would it be possible to use ICS with the laptop, so it can get the incoming signal from the router in the bedroom thru the wired connection, then thru a router. From there, I can connect the PC and xbox thru the router to get access to the net.

DSL ROUTER<-->LAPTOP w/ wifi USB<-->ICS thru LAN<-->2nd router<-->COMP,XBOX

try it and see what happens, but dont expect great speeds.

It maybe possible, but an unreliable setup. You may get several drops in connections, and the configuration maybe a little time consuming to say the least. I would just put access points throughout my home if you want to do something like that.

Thx for the input.
