wolf buys a wireless router, finally

Okay, so the impetus is that siswolf is coming to help with momwolf. I have avoided getting a wireless network so far because I am that darn cheap. I was doing okay with the wired connection, but siswolf will need to do work while she's here, and would probably prefer not to sit on the floor in the hallway.

So, I dashed off to the Walmart, grabbed a Linksys router package, and installed it.

It works, because I'm typing this on my mini-netbook.

What I can't seem to do is untether my laptop from the router and keep the network intact. I want that badboy connecting wirelessly as well.

Any thoughts, before I call some idiot in Calcutta who can't help me?
