Question Dial-up Wireless Router? Where Can I Find One?

Does anyone know where I can get either a wireless router so I can use my laptop in my living room or around my house without being connected to a phone line all the time?

Thanks in advance.

I appreciate it.

You want more than a wireless router if you want to stay on a dial up connection. You will also need a modem that auto dials your ISP.

A router simply allows one internet connection to be used by multiple computers.

Another approach is to configure your desktop to connect via dial up to your ISP and to allow other computers to use the same internet connection. Then get an 802.11 (b or g) PC card for the desk top and a PCMCIA card for your notebook.
