I have a laptop running vista that has a wireless card. I use a usb aircard for my internet. i also have a belkin wirless g router. Is there a way for me to connect the ROUTER to the LAPTOP and use the Laptop internet for the router so that i can connect other devices(laptop,etc.) to the ROUTER wirelessly.

This is the setup im trying to achieve: internet(isp) -> laptop -> router =broadcast a wireless signal througout the building.

thus enabling me to just connect to the router whenever with whateve wireless device i have.

Is this possible?

  1. There are routers that you can physically put the aircard in, but not a way to do what you want.


  2. Conehead's right... you should be looking for a "cellular router" that readily accepts your USB modem as a "source" and allows you to share the connection with multiple computers.
