How do i set up a wireless network using a netgear WGR614v9 wireless router?

I need to set up a wireless network with my laptop and my computer to printer share. My laptop is upstairs and my computer is downstairs. I already have the laptop connected to the internet using the router.

From your writing the wireless side is already configured and working.



You did not state where router is relative to desktop.



If you can run a straight cat5 patch cord from desktop to one of the LAN ports of router you have finished making the network.



If you want wireless link between desktop and router, you need to purchase a wireless network interface for desktop (either a pci or even a usb style will work), install it, configure it similar to the way you configured the wireless notebook and you now have the desktop on network.



Make sure you share the printer that is linked to desktop and then use Printers and Faxes - Add printer to configure printer onto the notebook.How do i set up a wireless network using a netgear WGR614v9 wireless router?
Assuming that both computers currently are successfully connected to the network....click Start, Printers and Faxes, then right click on the icon for that printer. You will see one selection ';sharing';. Go in there and allow sharing for that printer.

Once you do that you must then install the printer drivers on the second computer. As you do that there will be a place to say that this is a network printer.

Once that is done when you go to print, one of the printers you can choose will be your network printer. Of course the computer that the printer is attached to must be turned on and not asleep when you want to print.
