wireless adaptor

[ferrari100]

I have a laptop with wireless connection,which seems very hit and miss.Can I use an additional wireless usb adaptor from my existing home pc set up?not sure if this would mess up the workings of the laptop

instead of yes - additional no

how far from router?
can you use wire
how about homeplug?

OK thanks
it isvery close to router,within about 10 feet.What is the wire &homeplug?

[ACtheTROLL]

if you are within 10 feet - a wire connection is far better option - a 5m ethernet cable will cost about �10
it plugs into the back of the router and your machine - should just work ....

homeplug is a fingy wot plugs into a mains socket near the router - and another that plugs in near the machine - it uses your mains to connect - faster and more reliable
.... but a waste of money for 10 feet

Thanks I understand now,looks like a wire connection then, that seems simple-many thanks once again
