If you are using a PCI, PCMCIA, or USB wireless adapter, (anything other than 'built-in' wireless in a laptop,) then make sure you are NOT using the Windows Wireless configuration control to manage your connection.  I've seen this before, and SOME wireless adapters keep dropping the connection periodically if you don't use THEIR management software.  I've also seen bad Routers do this, but check the other first, and if you *are* using their software, then call their cust support and make them fix it or return it ! (router)\n\nHope this helps !

Well, you should be able to get into your router's setup from one of your PCs (methods for this vary, consult the router's  manual) and disable *just* the wireless network. Anyone physically plugged into the router would still be able to get online, so if the laptop is the only thing connecting wirelessly, that would work.

first of all you have to fix a wireless adapter to your laptop...and the wireless adapter will keep the wireless connectivity with a central access point. Access point will connect to a service provider in a wired media.

I'm confused by your setup, but here's what you "need" to have a wireless connection...\n\n1.  A wireless router that connects to your DSL or Cable modem.\n2.  A computer with a wireless card or USB wifi dongle that to connect to that router.\n\nYou can plug your Ethernet cable into your router at first to set it up properly with your DSL/Cable modem.  Use your router's documentation to help.\n\nNext setup your router to make sure it's broadcasting a wifi signal and accepting connections (again, in your documentation)\n\nOnce it's all set unlplug the Ethernet from the router, and plugin in your wifi card on your laptop.  It should pickup your router in the list of available wifi spots.  Just connect.

Yes.\nTurn your labtop on and it should search and detect some wireless networks. It may detect more than one wireless network i.e. (your own and maybe even your neighbor's). Once it detects choose your internet connection and it should connect.

Nothing. Nowaday, new laptops all have wireless built-in. So you need not do anything to your laptop. \n\nYou will need to get a wireless router to be setup after your modem. Get the more popular brand like D0Link or Linksys as they follows the industrial standard.

No, that's not what a router does.\n\nA wireless router will provide a local point of access, to let your machines connect to *your* connection...  in other words, it still has to be connected to your internet service, it won't simply "bring in waves of hotspot signals", so they're not going to get your a free connection.\nMost WiFi hotpots have a very limited range, just a few hudred feet - and that's intentional.  Even if you were lucky enough to live right next door to a hotspot, and be within range, most of them require you to be a subscriber. (Yes, there are free hotspots around, but most want you to pay for the service)\n\nYou mention that you use dialup...  be aware that setting up a wireless router to support dialup can be a pain, and not all makes/models will do so.   Check the specs carefully first, you'll need one with a serial/modem port...  usually an older model or a high-end router that uses dialup as a backup, "fail-over" mode

connect to the router using a computer that is already connecting to the router...i.e. computer connected wiredly. usually...depending on the router...you connect using web browser...and in the address type in 192.168.0.1 and it should connect to your router...then set up the router to send wireless signals for your computer to connect wirelessly. Then on your computer, search for access point and connect...and there you go your connected

Sure, you just get a USB wireless adapter. It is about the size of a USB flash drive. I use one for an extra desktop I have upstairs...they are about $25 on ebay.\nIf you are going to have it as a more long term thing, I would suggest a PCI card wireless adapter for a desktop. The USB ones can get pretty hot so it seems like they could get too hot for regular desktop use. Again, the PCI ones are around $25. Both you just install and put in driver.

You just need a wireless router or hub. Avoid Belkin if you can as they dont seem too good (speaking from personal experience).\nSo from your modem you would connect it to the wireles router or hub then either install a wireless network card into your laptop or desktop pc and follow the instructions.\nHope that helps you a bit.

LAN cable connected to a router (Buy the router) or buy a network card and connect it to your laptop--unless you have it built in--and buy a router.

Simply attaching a wireless adapter to the computer will not suffice.  Somewhere near you, in your home, in your office, in an internet cafe or restaurant or libary, must be a wireless access point connected to the internet for you laptop wireless to communicate with.  If you don't have one of these, then you must buy one and connect it to the internet.\n\nSee your wireless owner's manual for information on how to configure this.

there are several ways to connect your wireless router. if it has a 4 port switch, it can be connected with a LAN cable (RJ45-RJ45 regular). that cable is what you should have to setup the router (don't do it in no case via a wireless connection).\nthe other way is a connection via a wireless PCI card or a WLAN USB dongle.\n\nPCI Wireless-G Adapter\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124115\nUSB 2.0 Wireless-G USB Dongle\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833171004\nRJ45 CAT5e Patch Cable\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812106322
