Firstly, what is your budget?

I can reccomend one for around Rs.3000($70)
Linksys AE1000 USB 802.11n dongle.

Budget= CHEAPEST as possible , its for home use , just need to surf on my 2nd PC , max BSNL broadband speed = 60KBps(UL750+ )

if possible only should b able to setup LAN(so can easily share FIle)(OPTIONAL Only-will skip if Cost is High for this feature , BSNL net sharing is Major priority )

you get cheaper branded routers for like 1-2k and/or wifi pci cards for sub 1k each





is 1k the cheapest ? also if instead of using Wifi usb stick or card how to Send Wifi broadband signals from my Router 1[BSNL WA1003a with wifi ] to Router 2 ?

is it complex to setup ?

Why don't you just connect the 2nd PC with USB Port??

That's the cheapest I guess.

Otherwise you can invest in a WiFi dongle/card(USB/PCI) or you can go for a cheap switch as suggested above.

I have similar query: Wifi Router is connected to the PC and connect Laptop wirelessly. I have another Desktop in other room and want to connect to the router wirelessly, so need a wifi dongle? Will the dongle be compatible with Linux? Currently using a very long ethernet cable.
How much will '802.11n' dongle cost?

@ Rajesh

Simply buy a USB wifi adapter. Netgear one costs around Rs. 900 on ebay. You can now connect one PC wired and other using wireless.

Also if you have Windows 7 in any of your system, try " Connectify ".

Didn't understand what actually you are asking.

At a time you can only connect to a single network using single dongle.

So if the other PC is in same network you can transfer files and use Internet simultaneously.

Yes, I've got one Belkin WiFi USB Dongle, it works fine in Linux,

This one : eBay India: Belkin Wireless G USB Wifi Lan Adapter Part # F5D7050 (item 260766266423 end time 14-Apr-2011 19:00:00 IST)

Though it's G.

BTW I'd like to sell it, if you have no problem with G, PM me. I'll open an FS thread.

The simple thing

Put the router in always on mode

then connect the ethernet from router to a switch(i recommend netgear)

from netgear give to as many pc's from other remaining slots..
