Wireless Internet Connection Setup?

I have a wireless Network setup, with a modem and D-link router. All my wireless laptops can connect to this network.
My Desktop PC is placed in a room without an internet outlet but I have another D-link router setup to the desktop.
My desktop does not have any sort of wireless card. I need help connecting my Desktop with the second router, to my pre-configured wireless connection.
Any help will be appreciated.

    Why not buy a PCI wireless network card.

    hmm..



    But I guess I would speculate you can turn off DHCP on the router near the desktop computer and have it act as a bridge to the other router.


    PCI Wireless card can be had for $10

    or maybe he wants to know if the wireless router next to the PC can pick up the signal from the other wireless router and thus giving the PC a connection, does that even make sense icon_eek.gif

    I would connect the a LAN ethernet port on the wireless router to a LAN port on the router with the desktop. This will make it act as a switch. Just make sure you disable DHCP on the router with the desktop

    is it even possible to do what I said, use a wireless router hardwired to a PC and get a signal from another wireless router?

    Yeah, works just like a wireless Access Point.

    Router A (Wireless/DHCP enabled) sends signal to Router B receives wireless signal > PC hardwired into switch is online. ;)
