I currently have a home network that runs a server and two pcs. The wiring is Cable modem>Router>Server & PCs. I just bought a pda with wireless capabilities tho. Where would i put the wiresless router in my setup to accomodate, and could anyone recommed a router or other solution?
 
You need a wireless access point which would hook into the router. This will make your wireless devices act just like the wired devices you have plugged into the router (from a networking standpoint anyway)

Or, if we're talking about home networks here (which I think we are), just replace the router with a router that has wireless capabilities.

and probably cheaper with the rebates these days. Access points always seemed to be priced higher then wireless routers.
