If i have a dsl modem connected to LAN port to wireless router and this wireless router has 2 pc on his network, will they have access to internet?

That's the purpose of a router.

If your modem has a router built into it, you may need to switch it to bridge mode to prevent double NATing.

Yeah but modem is only a modem, not modem/router, so if I dont put it on router WAN it musntn work?

[no2pencil]

Do these devices not have manuals?

[modi123_1]

Yes.. that is a basic setup. Data from modem into the router. Things connect to the router.

yeah ofc, but cable in router must be in WAN port if things want to work properly.

Most routers have been built to be fairly fool proof. Data cable in.. A few options for out and wireless antenna.

but in theory this not gonna work, modem must be in routers WAN port, if want to shaare a internet via LAN ports?
This is just a theory question (not for any test, just asking)

Dude.. you are over thinking it. Modem data takes a nice trip along the cat5 to the router's in port. Unless you are dealing with something super old or weird there's usually only one in. Wifi router broadcasts signals.. things work.

Again.. made fool proof. Example for linksys.. It just says "internet".



If you have computers that need the physical cabling then yea.. pop in a cable in the typical 1-4 'out' ports and off you go. A wifi router pretty much handles both wifi and hard wired at the same time.
