Need your advice - setting up wireless network

[Larry Gingrich]

I have been given a Belkin FSD 6230-3 Wireless Router and a Belkin Wireless
card for my laptop to use in setting up a home network. Both my PC and
laptop are business devices that need to access my cable modem at the same
time.

Is this router arrangement preferred or should I look at a wireless hub?

The set-up CD is missing for the router (Belkin says I need to use their
setup CD). I can't find the setup CD. Where can I get the software? On-line?
Could not find software on Belkin website.

Finally, I tried to setup the router on Windows XP Professional. I can't
find a wrieless setup tap in Network connections as Microsoft says I should.
Suggestions?

I appreciate your advice and help.

It should work. There is no need for to pay for an additional hub.

First ask where you got the router from. Then ask Belkin directly.

The entry (not: tab) is available on the laptop, because the WLAN
exists between the router and the laptop only. The entry will show up
after you installed the PCMCIA card.
