To get wireless internet on a laptop...\n\n1. Get a laptop, most have internal wireless NIC these days. If yours doesn't than you can get an expansion card for your laptop.\n2. Get a wireless router, and configure it.\n3. Get a internet connection.\n\nThen your done, although a few calls to technical support might be in the making

You can get a wireless router. The cable that goes from your DSL modem to your desktop computer will plug into the wireless router instead. The desktop computer will plug into the router and the router will send a signal out that your laptop can use to get online with the DSL. You may or may not need an additional wireless card added to the laptop to be able to do this. \n\nWireless routers should be setup with encryption, so not just anyone can drive up around your house and hop onto your internet. (Neighbors are known to be curious and depending on their technical skills, they may be able to read your files.) I suggest taking your laptop to Best Buy, having the Geek Squad tell you if you need a wireless card or not (unless you know you have one already) and then help you get a wireless router. Linksys routers are probably the most common. I'd also recommend having the Geek Squad come out and set it up for you. They will setup the encryption too so no one else can get in.

Greetings!\n\nFirst, if your laptop does not have an internal wireless card you must purchase one that goes into your pcmcia slot on the side of the laptop.\nThen when you start the laptop you will see a balloon in the task bar that tells you it has found a wireless network.\nClick on it and it will show you the network or networks. Choose the one with the most strength and then click the profile, and or connect button.\nThen bring up your browser like internet explorer and you will be on.\n\nGood Luck

Best way? Get a router. If your laptop is wireless ready get a wireless router. If not, either get a wireless card for the laptop or buy a wired router. Wired routers are cheap! You can also buy a special usb cable to do this but its a pain, the cable will cost as much as a wired router, it uses internet connection sharing which is not worth a hoot and will slow you down and by the time you get done fighting with it to get it to work you would have been money ahead to go with the router.

Just get a Linksys or Netgear wireless G router. Connect the WAN port of the router to the cable modem. Connect both notebooks to the router. \n\nI recommended a G router, but only if you laptops have G wireless cards in them. If not, then get the correct router for your cards (if not G then B).\n\nAs far as security goes, use the WAP or whatever security it has. Be sure to change the default passwords. They are not bulletproof, but unless your neighbors are international super spys, the security in the wireless routers should suffice if you actually use it.

you firstly need a wireless card and router. most new laptops come pre-installed with a wireless card. so all you should have to do is buy a router. any electronics store and even wal-mart carry a large variety of routers. I personally use a microsoft router and have used it for quite some time and it have worked perfectly.

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.

your broadband provider should sell wireless routers.\n\nor search ebay for wireless routers for broadband.\n\nif your laptop doesnt have a built in wireless receiver you will need to buy one of them also.\n\nlook at this link, this is what your looking for. ask the seller question to see if its compatible with your laptop - \n\nhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NETGEAR-54-Mbps-Wireless-ADSL-Modem-Router-DG834G_W0QQitemZ9711757398QQcategoryZ44997QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

well for one thing you have to make sure that your laptop can receive wireless. If it can then you need to see if your wireless for your laptop is a B or a G. If it is both then it doesnt matter. But if it is a G then you will need to get a wireless router the give off a G signal. Other then that make sure that is is secured with 64 bit or 128 bit. And if your laptop is not wireless ready then you will need a wireless card. Or one that you can put into your USB port. but i would not use those.

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.

Wireless routers only accept external Internet connections from a hard LAN. They do not accept the incoming communication wirelessly. A wireless router will work without an Internet connection to create an internal home network, but will not have Internet access. Now you can buy a wireless LAN card for your laptop and if there are unsecured wireless networks within range you can get on the Internet by piggybacking on their signal. However, unless this a publicly open connection it will be considered stealing bandwidth.

To get wireless internet you first need a normal wired connection (sounds stupid eh?). You will also need a "wireless router" that you can connect the internet to physically and your laptop to wirelessly.
