If you have hi-speed internet access you can purchase a Wireless router and a wireless network card. The router enables you to access your internet via ethernet cable or via wireless connection. The wireless network card can be a USB network adapter that you can attach to any USB port on your computer. If you already have a wireless router in the home all you would need is the adapter.

in most cases it's already integrated, but not in all. anyway, you have to read the specifications.\nmanufacturers like Dell offer a configuration by yourself where you can add a wireless card for pretty cheap, whereby other manufacturers only have a wide variety of laptop models with or without an integrated card. in this case it's up to you to choose the right model.

I just checked their website. If your Dell is running Windows 98 or above, it is compatible.\nHowever, you will need a USB cable if the retailer you buy it from does not include it in the package.\nYour computer must have at least 1 USB 2.0 port. They cost 6.94 at http://wal-mart.com

You can only hook up your dell wireless server if you have a router connected to the main computer.  I have a desktop and a laptop and my laptop has a built in wireless and it automatically recognizes the connection when I sign on to my laptop.  Its only because I have a router in the configuration.  Hope this helps if you have any other questions use the email provided.

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!

go to www.dslreports.com\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/\nYou will need the routers model number. put the model number in the search field and run a search on it. it should give you instructions on how to setup the router. You didn't put the make and model of the desktop or laptop so I cant say how to configure them, but you could research it on dslreports.com\n\nnext time put hardware specs and OS your working with

You would need a wireless adapter.  A lot of notebooks have them built in, but if yours doesn't, you'd need to purchase one that's compatible with your school's wireless network (check for the 802.11 a/b/g - it's the a or b or g part that you need to find out).  You can get USB ones that are easy to install and cost about $30 - $40.

You need to first have some kind of broadband internet service first.  Wireless networks aren't set up to work with dial-up services.\n\nAssuming you have that, you just need to purchase a wireless router and a wireless adapter for each computer you want to use with it.  Bear in mind most new laptops come with a wireless card installed.  The simplest adapters to buy for either desktop or laptop computers are USB.  You may likely find a bundle deal from retailers like Best Buy, Circuit City or others.  You should be able to buy hardware that supports the 802.11g standard, which is the most popular and plenty fast enough for surfing the web.\n\nFollow the manufacturer's instructions for installing, which basically consists of connecting your modem to the router and the adapters to the computers.  Be sure to read the section on encryption so you can prevent your network from others stealing your bandwidth.

If your laptop is new, it should come pre-installed with a wi-fi card. If not, you need a wi-fi adapter. Any Radio Shack, Best Buy, or Target stores have adapters and routers. \n\nIf you have a PC in the home with a DSL connection, your modem is more than likely wi-fi capable. If you're not sure, call your ISP. If your modem is wi-fi capable, then all you need to do is get the adapter for your laptop and follow the instructions.\n\nI just did this for my mom. Her laptop came with the wi-fi card so it was easy. \nI got most of myhelp from Wi-fi.org

Your computer either needs a built-in wireless\ncapability (which is becoming universal on new\nlaptops) or you need a plug-in wireless card\n(which are $40 on a bad day, $10 with a good sale).\n\nYou also need to have the required drivers installed\nfor which ever OS you're running (ie. Windows).

You need a wireless card.  If you have a card, it should pick up signals from the hotspots.  If you live in the South, Krystal restuarants have started offering free wireless internet, but I can't see me with a laptop in Krystal (White Castle of the South).

The best way I find to set up a Wireless network is this:\n\n1. Broadcast your SSID, on your wireless router.\n\n2. You may want to set Encoding (WEP or WPA) at this point.\n\n3. Get ALL your wireless Devices connected to the network devices. Make sure that your network is a Preferred network on your wireless Devices.\n\n4. Turn off your SSID Broadcast.\n\nThe name can be picky. Using "Dave" is not the same as using "dave"

Turn on the WiFi antenna switch, usually on the right side toward the back and you'll see a orange light come on. Then open your network connections and enable your wireless connection. First you need to view all wireless connections within range and choose  the wireless connection you want to use. If there are no wireless connections within range your computer won't work wireless. Unless you get a router and make your own wireless connection.
