[Ham-Computers] Connecting Tablet to PC.

[Dan Violette]

I was going to say similar.  Don't bother getting the two connected to each
other wirelessly (the PC may not even have wireless built in).  Connect each
to the internet directly (through a wired/wireless router) and then you can
use either on the internet at any time even if the PC is off.  Get a
Wireless N router (choice also based on internet method used, Cable, DSL,
dial-up).  About $50 will get you a real good one (Netgear, D-link,
Linksys).  Dan KI6X

Most routers with wifi capability still have 4 or so wired ports on the
back. Hook the modem and desktop pc into the router, be sure wireless is
enabled in the router config menus, and enjoy.

: If his PC is connecting WIRELESSLY in his house to his router than
: everything is already in the house.  If he is connected with WIRE you need
: to add a wireless router.  Easier to set-up than explain.  Dan KI6X

No routers, no wireless connection, he connect to the web over a cable, BUT,
he bought a WiFi device, at the advice of the f-tards at radio shack, which
does nothing for him...

>From what I gather, for starters he needs a wireless router, then can
connect the tablet to the PC, hopefully should be able to figure out how to
share that connection with the web, if I have troubles, will ask you
fellows.

Thanks.

Kurt
