Can you connect a PC to a router to get wireless

[globex5]

I have wireless internet in a shared house and someone else has the modem in their room i have a wireless card in my pc i was wondering if i connected a router to my PC (My PC has access to the wifi)

could i then use the router to connect more devices to the connection and if i can do this will the broadband be very slow i could accept some degradation , i know it means what ever pc i use will have to be left on in order for the connection to work but any other problems i should experience?

If you pc has internet access you can share it with another device via a router. So if that is the case, then yes.

yes that should work.

 

you may have to assign the other device a channel depending on your router.

Ya im going to barrow a router rather than buy one next week to try it out if it works them ill pick one up. I know its a weird situation as normally you'd just have access to the main feed no worries
