Currently using broadband connection with CPE 2615 connected to the desktop PC by ethernet cable. I need to know how to connect a wifi laptop wirelessly to this connection and browse the net in my PC and laptop simultaneously.
Thanking you

Does the PC already have internet access with the current configuration?
You may need a switch or router for this to work correctly.
Generally what you get is something like this:
... CPE/AP/Wireless > Wireless Devices
... /
Internet/WAN > Router > Switch
... \
... Wired Computers/Devices
What you said in your post would look something like this:
Internet/WAN > Router > Computer/Devices > CPE/AP/Wireless > Wireless Devices
Which is entirely possible, but kind of the hard way of doing things.
Your computer would have to have 2 lan cards, DHCP, DNS Forwarding, internet sharing and maybe a couple of other things. Basically you would be running a mini subnet from the PC which would in turn be preforming server functions. Kind of overkill if you ask me.
