I'm probably the dumbest guy out there in regards to networking so bear with me if my questions sounds crazy. :rolling:
My main question is, is it really as simple as buying a wireless router and a wireless cf card (as well, as a wireless pc card for my laptop) to have access to my computer and ultimately to my internet?
Secondly, does all the components (router, cf card, pc card) have to be from the same manufacturer to work? Can I mix and match and what do I look for to ensure compatibility if I can mix and match.
Third, and lastly, does it matter how much I spend for all these components? I don't want to spend a lot but is there a correlation between price and performance?
I suppose a little background on what I want to do may help. Basically, my computer is hooked up to the net and all I want to do is share my internet with my laptop and my Axim. I'm not really concerned about going to the corner store and still having access although sitting in my backyard surfing the net sounds appealing. I want to be able to listen to online music and maybe even play some online games if thats possible on my Axim.
I am a relative newbie when it comes to networking so I don't want to fiddle around with too much and I want to be able to set up everything without having to take a course in university.
So, is there anyone out there that can help me?
