A Sea Of Red

Need help guys!

I get my home internet from tethering my USB blackberry to my desktop. I've set up a Ad-Hoc network which is fine but speeds can be a little slower at a distance. Is there any way to push the internet I receive already through an Ethernet to a wifi router so I can connect that way instead of Ad-Hoc?

Does this make sense?

Thanks guys!

Oh, I can't wait to see the MSPaint drawing that Medic comes up with for this.

Paging El Scorcho to the rescue...

you can do it. but there are likely going to be issues as it will be adhoc.

1. Connect the Blackberry to your PC via USB as you normally would for tethering.

2. Turn on Internet Connection Sharing in Windows and share the Blackberry connection over your wired Ethernet port. (How-to: http://goo.gl/hKN7)

3. Connect an Ethernet cable from your Ethernet port on your PC to the WAN port on your wireless router.

Notes:

1. You do not need to use wireless on the PC for anything. In fact, you should just disable that connection.

2. You will essentially have two different LANs with this setup. One with the Blackberry and PC and one behind the firewall on the router. Don't expect to connect to file shares or anything on the PC. You can but I'm not going to help you with that because it's more complicated.

My turn:

I cant get my printer to work. It's a Brother.

It's hooked to my computer. It's a Dell.

It used to go thru the air. Now I have to plug in a USB cable.

It's blue.
