So I have an older Dell Desktop that I want to make wireless. Can I use this device?

To be clear, if you have a modem and wireless router, all you need on your dell is either a wireless card and little antenna or a USB wireless dongle. TP link sells them cheap. The device you are asking about only extends the signal of your router, wireless or not. Edimax sells a cheap AP that you can connect directly into the Ethernet port of your computer.

I assume you already have a AP active. If the Dell has a ethernet port, this should work... but, installing a wireless card or wifi dongle would be cheaper and certainly easier

No. Most desktops do not have built in WiFi capabilities. There is a USB plug that I bought through Amazon that does allow you to pick up WiFi without having to plug directly into your router.

Yes the one I have has several ways,you should be able to connect by ethernet cable wire,phone line,or better yet get you a good router from Amazon.com and go wireless,by its wi fi,thats what I did so I can take my lap top any where I want,even out side up to approx 100ft. I hope this heloed you.

Most desktops need a wireless adapter to connect through WIFI. This system does not include a wireless adapter, but you can purchase one through amazon for around $25-$40.

Yes you can, but I would do the wireless install first during initial setup.

Yes. I gave this Dell as gift. One of the critical requirements was WIFI. My relative loves his Dell.

No. You have to hook it up by its ethernet port to begin with, and then you can use either that or wireless in the future.

no. this would produce wireless for the desktop. You will need this for the laptop as well as a wireless router. You would also need a internet connection the location the router is installed

Try the ethernet with any laptop, if it works then it should give you the wifi with this device ;p

This will only work if you have an Intel wireless card for your computer. I bought one for my home and to use with a dell computer, I then discovered that it only works with intel wireless cards and certain ones at that. I suggest you research this on the intel website like I did.

you can connect it wirelessly or directly. use the web page at 10.10.10.10 to configure3 it. and make sure you use desktop settings on that HTML

Only other thing I can think of is that you want to make sure that the airport express that you buy, will handle 802.11 a/b/g/n. I have some older ones that are five or six years old that do not have the capability to work with the newer devices.

Yes you can. In fact, that's the same setup I have. Just activate the wireless on the printer and connect the desktop via an USB. Your laptop will seek out the wireless connection. Good luck.

Yes I Hope, you should have " Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000 or Centrino Advanced N 6200 wireless card " for the WIDI in DELL laptops.And this laptop does have Wireless - N.

Yes. You should be able to set up your computer as a WiFi repeater. Contact Panda Wireless if you have any question.

Sure can. I recommend the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Adapter (AE3000). The setup is easy. Like in less than 5 minutes easy.

We used it at work on an older Dell Desktop. It worked great - has been working for 6 months or so and continues to do so.
