Giving a computer wireless capabilities

MrPickle
100 New Member
I have a BTHomeHub and a Netgear WG602v4, would it be possible to connect the WG602v4 to my new computer and give it wireless capabilities?

If so, what do I need to do? This is a very general question so sorry.

I believe a BT home hub already has wireless so you do not need the Netgear wireless access point. As for your computer, if it is not a laptop I assume it does not already have wireless. You will then need to purchase a wireless dongle like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-Rang.../dp/B0007YQO36 There are cheaper ones available.

Once you have a wireless enabled computer you can connect to the BT Homehub by entering the passkey which should be written on the back of the hub.

Hi, If I want to uniquely identify a computer. I can read CPU ID or Mac Address. I heard, but is this true: some BIOS can block CPU ID from being read?
