buy a linksys wireless access point and if you want it for your laptop get a pcmcia card for it, also made by linksys. if its for a desktop there is a card with an antenna sticking out of it that you can install in your system. i have one and it works great. if you want a larger coverage area, you can buy a range expander

You'll need a wireless router, and wireless capability in every device that you want to connect to it. If you have a computer that doesn't have wireless capability, you can buy a card to add that capability.\n\nOnce you have the equipment, you should follow the instructions that come with the equipment. If you aren't technically inclined, you can get someone to do it for you, like Best Buy's Geek Squad.

1. dont broadcast ssid\n2. create a ssid that is long and alpha numeric\n3. use wep or wpa\n4. use mac address filter\n5. use time restriction\n6. use wireless station listing\n7. set password to admin \n8. change the above once in a while

Go to buy.com and you get a wireless card and a router for 150 to 200 buck. \n\nBuy it there and call your local Techie and see how much to install one if you do not know how.\n\nIt would not cost much to get installed.\n\nDB

Get a wireless router.  Use the laptops wifi connection.

If you are using Windows XP it's really very easy.\n\nYou just need to make sure that the wireless card is switched on (usually there will be a small slider on the side of the laptop to turn it on) and when it's on there will be an orange/green light that comes on with a little picture of a satelittle.\n\nThen you will see a single monitor in your system tray (like the 2 little flashing monitors from your dialup). This is the wireless network icon, double click on it to search for wireless networks and connect to them.\n\nIt's all intuitive from there on, once you double click to choose a network it will connect and configure itself.\n\nIt's called Zero Configuration Wireless Service :)

buy a wireless access point, and plug it into your network.  \n\nDon't have a network?  \n\nbuy a wireless router instead, and plug that into your high speed connection device (dsl or cable modem)\n\nNo high speed connection? \n\nGo to Starbucks and use their connection.

Several options...\n\nYou can add a high-gain antenna to your router, if it has a detachable antenna type...\n\nYou can add a "Wireless access point" at a different location in the building...\n\nYou might consider re-locating your router...  perhaps it's in a shielded spot..\n\nYou can get a "repeater" which is connected through the building power wiring (though I've never actually tested one of these, and have my doubts about the bandwidth...)\n\nAn "amplifier"? No, because that would put your router outside the limits in the regulations - and probably do all kinds of horrid things to the signal. In addition, yo'd need one at each end of the link...\n\nYou could try a router with a MIMO adatptive antenna system, that might help.\n\nYou could also look at systems like Pre-N, which supposedly has a better range, though you'll need to replace all your devices with Pre-N compatible ones, to get the benefit.

Ordinarilly, WiFi is reserved for those with a broadband connection, however, you can take advantage of it this way. Even PC Magazine thinks it's cool.\n\nSee here:  http://www.wiflyer.com/StoreFront.bok

It depends a lot, but here's the basic requirements and some information to get you going in the right direction. You'll need:\n\n1) a wireless router that is already set up and functioning\n2) physically insert / install the wireless card\n3) either a driver will load automatically for it, or (better option) if you have the drives on floppy / CD etc. install those drivers\n4) if the wireless router is "open" i.e. does not use encryption and the ssid (wireless network unique identifier for your network) has "broadcast" enabled, you should be able to get onto it immediately, though you might have to select the network if more than one is detected\n5) if "broadcast" is disabled, you'll need to manually enter the SSID in your sisters laptop once you have the wireless icon in the system tray in the lower right hand corner. Disabling broadcast "hides" the SSID so you just have to know it and tell the computer what it is the first time. (If you don't know any of this at all, you'll need to call a friend. Full details are out of scope for this response and forum.)\n6) if WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) security is enabled, you'll need to enter the WEP key you generated upon setup of the router, and select the right channel. Follow similar procedure if WPA was used, you'll need to consult your documentation for that since I'm not as familiar with it.\n\nOnce the ssid is set up and WEP key entered (if required), you should be able to get onto the wireless network. It might be a good idea to reboot your PC after you set it up the first time.\n\nBe patient and persistent, and don't be afraid to read the documentation. The instructions I have seen for my Linksys wireless router for example were pretty good and clear.\n\nGood luck!

download sun wireless SDK. There is a demo to show how you do it.

Wifi can only be used at "wifi hot spots"  normally motels, some restaurants or Internet cafe.  Only way to do this at home is with high speed and a wireless router

I would suggest an Airport. Since its from Apple, you can probally set up yourself without a whole lot of problems. But almost any router will work. And most have the same range. I have a Netgear in my house (which is also 3 stories) and we have never had a problem with picking up the signal. I can even take my computer outside and use it. The only thing that will change is the signal strengh. That depends on what your house is made of. If its brick, you won't get as stong a signal as a house made of wood. But with a broadband connection, it won't be a big enough differnce to matter much. Again, I would just go with the Airport because it's from Apple.

Dear it may be. You can try Wi-Fi Networking.\nYou can set Sector antenna and use WAN card in your lap-top to access your network.\n                                                    Thank You

Buy a cheap wireless router, you should be able to get one for around $40 or less.  They all come with a CD and instructions.  Usually the first thing you do is put in the CD, and follow along.  It will tell you how to hook up your computers and your internet depending on what kind of connection you have.  Also you need to buy wireless network adapters.  Do not purchase the internal ones, if you want the process to be easy.  They sell usb wireless NIC's for a little more money, but they also include detailed instructions for setting them up.
