Here is the deal, my landlord has all of the apartments set up on a wired router but I would like to have wireless. I am wondering if I can somehow attach a wireless linksys router i have to the cat5 cable coming in through the floor and make my apartment wireless. I have a desktop computer and my boyfriend laptop that I would like to be wireless. Please help, the other answers didn't seem to answer my specific problem. THankyou. The landlord is not willing to replace the "more secure" router downstairs with a wireless one.|||connect one of the ports (NOT the WAN) on the back of your wireless router to the wall jack the Landlord has setup. Make sure your router is set to a different IP range compared to the Landlords router. You can connect your computer direct to see what IP you get, i.e. 192.168.0.150, then change your router to something like 192.168.1.1, to avoid conflicts. Yo make these changes in your router connect directly to your computer. log in and change the IP of the router. I do this in may Office and have no problems.|||obviously you can connect a wireless router to the cable router.what u are doing is just giving connection to the wireless router ,which will then splits the connection.|||It would be no problem as long as the wired router does not need a password. Be sure to secure your wireless though or you may find others hacking into it and slowing you down.|||cat5 - Ethernet Cord ( thats it )
i think you need a modem
