Posted January 4, 2016 Ok on my main pc i am using a usb wifi dongle,but i have about a 5 or 6 old pc's (setup as home servers) and a laptop with broken wifi. I also have 2 PCI wifi cards(one is missing the antenna),i have a lot of old routers,and a switch or 2. My problem is my room is across the house,and i can't run a wire across the house. Is there any way to set up something that pulls in the wifi,and then wire the pc's and laptop to that so that they all get internet? I am not going to be using them all at once. | I7 2600@4.2Ghz | Corsair A70 w/H100 fans | 16GB DDR3 1333Mhz | MSI Z77A G45 Gaming | Corsair TX650 | XFX R9 380 | 2x 120GB Samsung 840 SSD in RAID 0 | 2x Seagate 500GB in RAID 0 | 750GB Seagate | 500GB WDHDD + 500GB WD USB HDD | Sound Blaster Recon | Antec Sonta Case | HP LP2480zx @1920x1200 | Acer H243H @1920x1080 | BenQ EW2440 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 5, 2016 I think what op is trying to do is this: Internet ==== router with WiFi ---- Router with WiFi ==== PCs L====PCs==== means wired---- means WiFi Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
