Will it work with my old BEFW11S4?

@Arlen10 yes

Excellent!! Exactly what I needed!! Hey, you mention a switch at some point. When would hook up a switch rather than piggyback another router? Or a bridge, I've also heard of... Thanks!!

[nfixitonline]

@AlloBruxelles to keep it simple a router is only needed to connect two different networks, your isp to your own network. if you just want to connect more systems to your network ( because your router has no more open ports) use a switch. if you have more than on isp, ex cable and dsl use another router

very good video. I have a question. will this work with a USB Verizon Wireless Modem? i dont have DSL or cable. No wires involved. I get my internet connection from the above. So with that said, Can i configure this Linksys 2.4ghz device as a wi-fi hotspot?

I have a cpu and monitor that work just fine, a bit outdated, and not connected to the internet, but I want them to be. I have wifi everywhere around my house, working on 3 ipods, an iphone, a psp, 2 laptops, and two desktop pcs, but I want to be able to set it up on my winxp pc in my room. I have everything else, but I want to get it to work. D: Please help!
