Wireless networking

[mariacarmen]

Here is a simple question for all gurus.

You have a USR8054 wireless Router. The Wan side of the router
connects to a cable modem. One Ethernet port on the router (There are
4 all together) has a pc connected to it.There is also a laptop with a
wireless network card. Both computers are able to connect to the
Internet. The pc also has a printer cabled to it. I would like to
print FROM the laptop to the printer. DO I need to set up a 2nd
network with a wireless network card added to the PC?? Please note
that the router does not have a network card. Also any reference to a
step by step procedure would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to all

Maria,

If you have two computers connected to the router (one wired, the other
wireless), and both can connect to the internet, then both should also be able
to connect to each other with no further physical work.

Here are a few websites with useful tutorials:
