Can I use my laptop like a wired router?
You certainly can do this. Assuming you have a PC as your laptop, you would go to your connection via Control Panel (this may be "Local Area Connection" or "Wireless Network Connection"), right-click your active connection and select "Properties". You should see a tab for "Sharing" in the "Properties" window that opens. Turn on [internet] Sharing so that your laptop will be able to share its connection with other devices. Then connect your new computer to your laptop with an Ethernet cable and establish a LAN connection on your new computer. If you run into any issues/have trouble figuring out exactly how to use these steps, just Google your issue (e.g: "can not establish LAN connection on PC) If your laptop is a Mac, go to your Network settings and enable Internet Sharing, and it should have the same effect.

Can I use my wireless router at a friend's house?
I'm going to stay at a friend's house for a few days and need to be able to use my laptop while I'm there. They don't have wireless internet but they use the same cable modem/carrier that I use. Can I just take my wireless router and plug it into their modem, or would I have to set up a new network and all that mess? And, if I did have to set up a new network, when I come back home will it remember my old settings here or will I have to do it all over again?
