connecting a 2nd PC to BT WIFI Hub

[Tikisue]

We have connected our Main  PC to the BT hub with a Ethernet cable Successfully but want to connect a 2nd one in a separate room wirelessly to the same hub, Is this possible(it is an older PC)? or do we need some sort of  WIFI adaptor to go in  the back of it, It is due for replacement fairly soon so don't want to spend a fortune on it just a fix for now

Thanks

If the 2nd pc hasn't got a WiFi card installed, you can buy a WiFi adapter that plugs into the pc via USB. They're widely available for under £50..

Try something like tplink ac600 USB wifi dongle from Amazon currently less than £10. Or you can get something more expensive

£50!!!! They're widely available for less than £15

It depends how old the 2nd PC is. 

Yes you should be able to do it (assuming that the 2nd PC is Wi-Fi capable) but if it's that old then you may need to change the Wireless Mode setting in the hub settings as it may not be 802.11n capable (300Mbps)
