    Hi,
    Just bought a new brother wireless printer and I suceeded to connect it to my new dell inspiron 1720 with built in wireless, the proplem is I've to disconnect from the printer every time I want to connect to the internet or from the internet if I want to connect the printer, are there a way to connect the print and the internet to the same wi-fi adaptor in my computer at the same time?
    Thank you

    Or buy another Wireless USB Dongle adapter and plug it into the USB port for use of the Internet. Since the other wireless is already working for the printer.. routers cost more than usb wireless adapters ( aka dongle ).

    router cost $55 and up. compare to usb wireless adapters at $29 and up.
