Verizon is sending all the necessary equipment to set up DSL on my main
computer, but my other computer is just a dialup connection, no interface
network card etc. My plan is to buy a wireless router, but won't I also need
to install an interface card into the second computer??? Also, what is an
adapter?? PC World mention I need to install an adapter or interface card to
the second computer.
Also, is the router primarily to have the two computers communicate with
each other...I assume the router allows the second computer to access the
DSL connection. Finally, is the router even necessary if I just use an
adapter to plug the second computer into an existing phone jack. Sorry for
all the questions, very new to broadband. Thanks for the patience again.
