Let's assume the person you want to allow on your wireless network has a wireless network adapter in their computer.

Wireless networks are limited in range. There are several standards for wireless routers aka access points. Depending on your standard which is probably 802.11b or 802.11g for your home network the distance will vary. Also distances are increased for outdoor use because there are no signal obstructions.

Let me guess you are using 802.11g and say that the specification is 27 meters or about 90 feet indoors.

The steps to share your wireless connection should be fairly simple

· First have your friend click on the wireless icon in the system tray for Windows 7x

· A list of wireless networks that are in range will be displayed

· Click on the one that is yours and you will see an option to connect

· If you have a security key phrase assigned or a default security key they will have to enter it in the box that opens while trying to connect.

· If you forgot the network security key then right click on your wireless connection on your own commuter and select properties.

· When the properties box opens select show character in front of the Network security key to see the current key

· The steps are very similar for Vista but you may need to ask the question again with more specifics like your operating system version, and possibly your type of wireless network appliance.

Do you get free online with a PS3?

If your question is asking how you get access to the Sony store and access to the free Sony PS3 features you just need to go online and register yourself. Sony does not provide a free internet connection with the Sony PlayStation 3, but does offer the ability to receive both an Ethernet Cable connection and or a wireless connection. You must go to the setting menu of the PlayStation 3 and go all the way down to network settings, then you choose the internet connection setting. If you do not have an Ethernet connection the PlayStation 3 will search for a wireless connection when you choose auto after the PS3 tells you that it can not detect an Ethernet connection. When I set up my PS3 I noticed that it detected many possible sites besides the one for my wireless router and asked me to choose the site. I ended up buying a 50 foot Ethernet cable and not using the wireless because I found that the connection was slightly better with the cable. I do know that some places offer free internet wireless access if you live near one of them. If someone near you has a wireless internet connection and is not using a password protected site your wireless capability in the PS3 may also allow it access to the signal. It is then possible to log on and use the internet.


Do you need a router for the PS3 if the internet is wiredless?

PS3 has the ability to have a wireless connection or a wired connection to the internet. It does not have wireless internet, you must purchase a broadband internet service. Many people already have broadband internet service for a PC and need a router to allow them to connect the PS3. A router will allow two or more items to be connected to the internet service. A wireless router will allow them to connect wirelessly if they both have a wireless connection capability like the PS3 and also allow them to be connected with an ethernet cable for a wired connection.

What is the purpose of an access point?

The function of a wireless access point is to allow wireless devices such as projectors, laptops and PDAs to access a local area network. Wireless access points mainly act as switches to spread connections wirelessly. The difference between an access point and a router is that access points do not assign IP addresses nor do they have firewalls; they only lock out traffic that does not have the wireless key.
