ok, i just moved in with my friend. He has DSL and a wireless network with his wireless router. I am getting cable and will have a wireless network with a wireless router. we want to be able to share files and play LAN games and such. how would we be able to do this? Is there like a wireless switch or something to connect both our networks together? or would we just have to VPN or something? Thanks!

if you're in the same house and both have wireless capabilities...

why get cable and dsl? why not split the bill on one or the other, or join funds for the faster of either?

vpn works, things like hamachi, but its slow.. just make a network with the same name in control panel and set a folder to sharing

reason for this is that he can only get 1.5MB DSL. I don't want to share that slow of a connection between two people. He won't give up his DSL so we can share cable so I'm getting cable for myself and he'll have the DSL.
