Speed Up Your Internet Connection

Can you have wireless broadband and normal broadband at the same time?

I have normal AOL broadband on my desktop, but i want to get a laptop and have wireless internet, so can I get wireless but keep normal broadband for my desktop?

1. Use a router.
2. Yes, you can. I have my desktop wired into my BT hub and my lap top works off of it wireless.
3. Your best bet is to get a wireless modem router such as a Netgear DG834. You can plug into it for your broadband with an Ethernet cable or use its wireless function to connect your laptop. With AOL (yuk) any router not supplied by AOL needs a little bit of extra setting up to get the best speed (MTU setting needs adjusting to 1400 but this is easy, just google it)
