Turn My Laptop Into An AP?

Post by chugger93 »

I wanna be able to either A.) turn my laptop into an access point for others or B.) purchase a device (router) actually so others can share my broadband.


Basically I have this new USB sprint mobile broadband device that gives me internet anywhere I go. So if Im on a boat, or up north, I wanna be able to have my friends use their laptops and use my device.

I know linksys makes a mobile broadband router, but its only for PCMCIA devices or whatever. I need another solution...either hardware device or making my laptop into an AP.

Any ideas on this on guys?!
