Title: Networking a laptop to my computer's router?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on December 04, 2008, 08:23:29 PM

My roommate has a laptop. I've taken the security off the router temporarily so he can connect, but I want to make it so that his laptop is connected to my router without leaving it unsecured.

I've been losing my connection a few times ever since unsecuring the router

uh?

I want to set up my router so that my roommate's laptop can connect to it, without leaving the router's security functions disabled...

so explain why you would need to disable security so the laptop can connect

I love playing with my neighbors by leaving the security off and then booting them off. :teehee

I can look out my window and see the neighbor girl playing mario kart and watch the confusion when I kick her off right before the finish line. :teehee

It's able to connect when security is disabled but he says his connection is limited (1 out of 5 bars).
