I know when its wirelessly connected i can share the connection but how do i do that when my laptop is connected with an ethernet cable? I want to be able to use Wi-Fi on my iphone so how can i trun my lptop into router ofthe sorts

You'd need to attach a wireless access point to the port you're using to connect your laptop to the Internet.

wall jack --> wireless access point --> wireless clients (laptop, iphone, etc.)

  • Why isn't my belkin wireless router working? I just bought a belkin wireless router (type wpa/wpa2) and I can't seem to get it to work. I activated it on my ipod as well as my iphone and laptop, but nothing is working. When I set it up, the light that said "modem" under it was red even though I connected it to the modem already.
  • What's the difference between a cheap router and a good router? Just wanted to know the difference between a cheap router and an expensive router, I know that is a very broad question, I'm just a bit confused on how a router works. Does it increase my Internet speed on multiple devices? I get 50Mb per second, Well at least that's what I pay for. I have a PS3 two iPhones and a tablet, as well as a desktop PC that is wireless. Can anyone recommend an excellent router under $150
  • What's a decent wireless router? It's only me and I'll only need to run my iPhone and computer off of the wireless. I'll be using my Xbox with a hard line, so I'm not sure if that effects the wireless speed. I just want something that won't cause me to lose speed. What are some choices under say, $30?
