Can I use remote assistance with my wireless router if there is no
internet connection?
 I just got this router in hopes of a near future high speed
connection (dial-up for now). It's a D-Link N300 8 port and I have a
usb wireless N adapter. I've never used an ethernet connection or any
other networking between PCs so I'm a rookie in this game!

Thanks,
Phillip
