[QUOTE="jacintosh, post: 561406, member: 41141"] [b]Do I need my desktop?[/b] I currently have my pc desktop wired to my Linksys router. I also have my printer running through the computer. My wife's pc has a Wi-Fi adapter allowing her to connect to my Comcast service. My MBP connects wirelessly to my router, and my computer also connects to my wired printer on the desktop. My question is.....do I need my desktop as a hub for my wife and I to connect to the router? My printer doesn't have the ability to connect to the router. Would I need a different router? Since I can't sell my relatively new HP Desktop for anything less that giving it away, I suppose it would be just easier to let it sit there and collect dust. [/QUOTE]
