I would like to connect an old PC with a dial up modem to my comcast high speed network thru a Linksys Wireless 2.4 GHZ Broadband router (WRT54G) for my Grand kids?

Dear Anthony, It all depends how old that PC is and what Operating System it has. If it is running Windows 98 or better and has a USB port then a wireless USB unit is the easiest way. If you have spare card slots (Desktop system)then a wireless NIC card may be the answer. If it is a laptop that has PCMICA slots then go with that option in a wireless version. In any case make sure that the wireless hardware can work with your operating system. Sincerely, Joseph Golan, RCDD
