no usb on linksys routerI'm trying to use the wireless network wizard to allow my wireless laptop
have access to my desktop computer for file & printer sharing. However when I use the wizard and download the network settings onto my flash drive, it asks me to connect the flash drive to the usb input on my router which I don't have. What do I do from here so that my router is properly configured to connect the two computers? Any help will be much appreciated!
