Hi everybody -- I got rid of my alcatel speedtouch USB ADSL modem and replaced it with a SAR 703 ADSL router http://www.solwise.co.uk Works fine and can share with 4 computers (the ADSL router has an ethernet output connection which I connected to the uplink slot on a "passive" Nexhub 4 port hub). All 4 computers can access the internet provided their lan cards are connected. But now I want to have wireless for the internet. I have a Netgear wireless router MR314 which has a connection for the Internet and 4 local ports as well as wireless. What do I have to do to get a shared wireless internet connection -- haven't a clue on how to connect 2 routers together. I am running Windows XP. Any network gurus who can start me off on this (I'm only interested in getting the wireless internet to work -- I'm not bothered about file / printer sharing etc. Thanks!

I was thinking about this some more and it might work.
Have you tried to get this to work yet? The only way to find out if it will work is to try it. Don't make any configuration changes to the ADSL router. Connect the wireless router to your hub for testing, if you want to eliminate the hub, wait until you know that the 2 router setup will work. You will probably need a crossover cable between your hub and the wireless router, but I'm not 100% sure. Try this and see if you are able to configure the wireless router.
Behind every good computer... is a jumble of wires 'n stuff.
