    Unhappy HELP!!! how to set up multiple wireless access points using one sify connection?

    I have a sify 256kb/s unlimited plan. I live in south mumbai...

    I want to use my single sify account to set up a wifi network in my home so that i can access net on my phone, my psp and my pc. Tell me if that's possible or not? if it is possible, please tell me the steps to do it. i already have a wireless router, but i don't know how to set up the connection.

    please help me as soon as possible...

    I found out how to do it. I will try it tomorrow...Thanks anyways. And thanks bhardu for the tip about wifi security..

    Just one more thing... If I connect the wifi router, i'll have to register it's MAC address with sify, right? So then sify will have two MAC addresses registered, one of my pc and other of my wifi router. I know that you can register only two MAC addresses. What I want to ask is...
    if i access wifi net (from router) through my phone, will i have to register it's mac address too? but then, i'd already have two addresses registered... so i'm confused a little bit. hope anyone can help??

    i am currently using my laptop and my Desktop in tandem using WiFi (Netgear Router).
    first off all You need to change your router mac. add. to the one of the computer from which you are registered to sify and use the dialer to login to sify.
    after treat your router addresses as you would put in your sify Ip addreses etc.
    in your computer make it dhcp enabled with router add as the gate way.
    after that u should login using your computer as normal, and then do not logout even if u r shuting down the PC.
    u should be able to connect through your Phone now using WiFi.
    just make sify belive that your router is your computer
