Hi, can someone point me to a good documentation about what's needed to make it so that computers can connect to my computer wirelessly? I've got a wireless network card which I'm thinking of putting back into my computer so that I can use the router as a modem only and have my computer do the firewalling/routing for the LAN via the wireless network card.
The short answer is most "92-function-in-one" home WiFi routers will act as an access point, you just need to be wired temporarily during setup (or during firmware upgrades and the like). The router will probably act as a firewall.
If you want your computer to be the firewall and access point, you must hook your computer directly to your internet WAN connection, are you sure you want to do that?
