Yes, I have a large switch attached to the router. At this point we do
run another cable to his laptop (and it works fine), but he doesn't want
to be tethered. What do you mean "don't use the WAN port"? I go from my
cable modem to the WAN port on the router. Is that bad?
Also, as Christopher suggested, I have just retrieved all the "WiFi
buddies" thread from my deleted and am going to go through them.

Since most routers have only four LAN ports, I'm curious
how you have 7 computers hooked up. Or is the "switch"
part a separate box fed from the Linksys?
You can simply run an ethernet cable between any
available LAN port on your router/switch to any LAN jack
on your son's Linksys. Don't use the WAN port.
I won't comment on the security aspect, but you have
to get it working without security first.

I have 7 computers hooked up through my wired home network. Cable
modem to my Linksys router & switch. Everything works great.
My son (it's always the kids that want to mess up a good thing) wants
me to make it wireless so he can hookup wirelessly with his laptop.
He bought a new Linksys 4 port wireless router (looks identical to
the one I have but has two antennas) and a notebook adapter.
