    I just ordered a wireless router with my new laptop, and I am wondering what would be the best way to set it up. I already have two computers hooked up to a wired router. Should I replace the old router with the new one, or can I just plug the wireless router into the wired router?

    Thanks

    You can get rid of the wired one and plug those two computers into the wireless router, it should have 4 ports for wired connections.
