Router Question

[HornBlower]

Hi,

I currently have a Netgear wired router with print server. I like it a lot.
However, I am getting a notebook computer for my birthday and need to add a
wireless "g" router so that I can use the notebook anyplace in the house.

My question is this. Can I connect a wireless router in to the back of my
wired router? Or, do I need to find a wireless router to replace my wired
router?

Thanks,

Robert

Connect a wireless access point to your current router, or, replace your
current router with a wireless router.

What is a wireless access point? Is it a little adapter things that plugs in
to one of the free ports on the wired router?

Yes.

Thanks. I ordered one from Netgear to go with my Netgear router.
