The easiest is
if both computers have a wireless card then buy a wireless router
if only one computer has a wireless card then get a wireless router and grab some cat-5 cable and connect the one that does not have a wireless card VIA the cat-5

How Long Does BT Broadband Take To Activate After Signing up?

Many companies I've tried state they take anywhere from 1-6 weeks to activate your internet connection, does anyone know how long BT take?

After the line is tested and all is ok, usually 5 to ten working days, if there is a problem with the line ie- a line sharing device, this will take longer.

Can I use BT Broadband Talk with the BT Home Hub if I connect to the internet through another router?

I have a Belkin router (F5D-8630) connected to BT Broadband using an ADSL line. This is connected to a BT Home Hub, which has the DHCP server function disabled and has an IP address within the range of the Belkin router.

I am trying to use the Broadband Talk function of the Home Hub while using the Belkin router to connect to the internet and broadcast the wireless network.

No sorry, the BT Hub is also the VOIP gateway and needs to be in control to run the phone.

I have been trying to connect an extra laptop to my wireless network but do not know the wpa key. Since trying this I keep getting messages on my existing desktop saying I am not connected even though I am. I am presented with the dial up option but if I close this down I cannot connect via my wireless connection. How do i get rid of the dial up propmpt?

What kind of wireless router will I need to use a BT Broadband Modem?

Basically, my gf is on BT Broadband & has just the modem. I'd like to be able to use my laptop while I'm there. In order to save a bit of cash, what's the best way to do this - don't really want to buy a modem&router - just the wireless router. Suggestions appreciated
Also would like to connect my Slim PS2 - so a another ethernet connection would be nice

Most any wireless router will work. Just pick one with a cat5 input so that the BT broadband modem can input to it, and there ya go.

Yes, although it may take some fiddling.

Connect the WAN port on the new router to the BT Router.

If you search for it does it come up? if so click on add a new one. if its says you need a password, it is on the back of the hub (under BTHomeHub-....).
