I have a wireless network setup at home.
My atom connects to my wireless network fine and i can use the internet on it, but I would like to connect my laptop to my wireless network using the atom as a wireless adapter.
Can this be done and how?
Thanks.

Hi,
In my house I have a wired broadband connection. Is it possible to connect my Exec to this machine using the USB then connect my laptop to the Exec using Bluetooth Dial Up Networking to give my laptop a network connection?
I have played around and it looks possible - has anyone managed it?
Has nobody tried this at all?
the exec came with special USB s/ware drivers for your computer, that alloow it to be used as a USB Wifi/ 3g 2g Dialup modem !!!!
Get a wireless router
I log on to an in house wireless network using my Exec and everything works just fine...

Logging on internet via Wireless
Have logged on to an inhouse wireless network without even realising it!
Not my network though! Someone near me is a bit lax on security
This seems bizarre - but when when my laptop (Acer Travelmate 290) internal wireless card is on, the Atom wifi wont connect to the ADSL wireless router (Netcomm NBSPlus4W ADSL2+). It sees it, try to connect but wont connect.
Switch the laptop wireless off and the atom connects Ok. Its not 100% the case but I have switched the laptop off & on enough times to prove itsmore than just coincidence.
I tried the latest Atom wireless ROM upgrade to ...R00045 but no change.
All the other computers are happy to work together including a desktop & wireless IPAQ PDA, but unfortumatley the Atom just doesn't want to play together!
Any of you gurus have any suggestions. The Atom help desk proclaimed they hadn't heard of this problem!
Thks, Chris
Max #of DHCP users or Defined MAC adresses might be helpful in router settings :?:
What happens if you connect the Laptop to the router by cable? is the Atom then able to connect?
check the settings in your wireless connection for the modem, you will probably find it is restricted to one connection at a time, if your laptop is on but you disconnect the wireless access can you then connect your atom if yes this is the problem.
Cheers
Many thanks to you all for your replies.
The number of connections doesn't seem to be a problem as I tested with a desktop wth ethernet connection, two wireless connected devices (a desktop and a wirelss ipaq pda) plus the laptop via ethernet and the Atom connected ok.
The problem seems only related to the laptop internal wireless as I have now changed the laptop to use only an extemal wireless card and now the Atom always connects ok.
All other wireless devices are happy to connect while the laptop internal wireless is used.... BUT not the Atom.
Has been very frustrating and time wasting - just to identify the source of the problem. As to a fix... if you have any further thoughts or suggestions I'd look forward to hearing from you.
thanks Chris
Hello people,
Is it possible to use an Universal as a wireless NIC? I have a wireless router, can connect the Uni to the router fine but also want to be able to connect a laptop (wich doesnt have a wireless NIC yet). I have tried the wireless modem but that didnt work, tried to share the internet connection but that also did fail. Does anyone has any ideas?
Cheers in advance.
Hi All, i'm not sure if this has been mentioned on this forum or if it is even possible, but is it possible to use the wizard's wifi capability's on the pc as a wifi network adapter? I would love it if I could connect my wizard, via usb, to my pc, and use it as a wifi adapter to connect to my router? Thanks!
If i connect to the internet via WiFi on my HTC touch HD is this free? does it come out of my allowence (orange)? sorry im not up on all this tech.
thanks

wifi is the same deal as if you connect your phone to your computer or network using usb or bluetooth
you can even remove the sim
your isp will never know when you're connected and transfering data over wifi
wifi is 100% the same thing as wired ethernet LAN networks just without the wires
