This is probably a silly question, but I can't get my head around it..
I'll be moving out and my roommate also has a laptop (I think it's a pc). Right now I have wireless going on with my Dad's Win95 machine using a D-Link DI-624 wireless router.

My question is, can you set up wireless for two laptops? Does one of them need to be connected? How would set up go? A little confused..

Thanks!!

A wireless access point, like the AirPort Base Station, the AirPort Extreme Base Station, or any other brand access point, can usually handle multiple clients. I seem to remember that the original (Graphite) ABS was limited to only 10 clients, but some access points can support as many as 250+ clients. Even the Software Base Station can handle multiple laptops. The only limitation you need to worry about in most cases is range. Managing the clients is automatic, once everything is set up.
