First of all u need a wifi certified card or built in wireless reciever. Then you have to find a hot spot where wifi service is provided. then you scan for connections. Most of the time you need a wep whcih is a securitycode to protect intruders. There is some places like starbucks or some MC donalds that offer it. Some charge for the wep key though.

If your laptop isn't already equipped to access WiFi, you'll need either a PC adapter (this is the card type), or a USB which will plug in a USB port.\n\nOnce you have this, you'll be able to access any wireless networks available to you.  Now, if you want to set up a wireless network at home, you'll also need a wireless router which you connect to your broadband modem.  Then you'll have wireless capability there, too!

It depends on what operating system you are using.  Assuming Windows XP or Windows 2000, the most common, here's what you need to do.\n\nLog on to the computer which acts as the network server for your wireless network.  This computer must have Administrator level access to the operating system.\n\n1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. \n2. Double-click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, select your connection, and then click Settings. \n3. Click Properties, click the Networking tab, and then enable or disable the appropriate features, i.e. make sure the Print and File sharing option is active.\n\nDuring the setup of the Print and Filesharing function, you will need to name your printer.  Make sure to note what name you use, because when you go back to your wireless laptop and try to connect to the printer, you will need to provide the laptop with the printer name.\n\nAfter you have activated Printer and Filesharing on the network server, go back to your wireless laptop.\n\nAgain, get to the networking tab in Internet Settings, and set up your printer. That's where you'll provide the laptop with the printer name.  It'll try to connect through the WAN, and you should be able to print.\n\nIf you have any trouble, refer to Windows Help files, and type "Printer and Filesharing" in the search window.  \n\nGood luck.

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.

if your computer doesn't have a wireless card, go pick up a wireless  usb adapter.  it's a lot easier to set up than opening your computer and installing a pci card.\n\nhere is an example.\n\nBelkin Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter \nModel: F5D7050\nit goes for about $40, but you can always find a cheaper one from Fry's.

Do you even have a wireless card installed?  Is this a notebook or pc?  To setup a wireless network you need to have a wireless access point or a wireless router.  If you have one of those, then you can setup a wireless network.

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.

Wireless devices / antennas are mostly plug and play. So hardware part is easy.\n\nWindows XP will recognise it easily so drivers arent a big problem either.\n\nOnce you see "your hardware is installed and ready to use"; \n\n1. Go to Control Panel > Network Connections > and take it from there\n\n2. Second method: Start > All Programs > Accessroies > Communications > Network Setup Wizard (other options are there too)\n\nJust play around a little and you'll be good to go.\n\nFor how wireless networks work / or antenna go to www.howstuffworks.com\n\nGoogle a little about "home networking" and you'll get cool websites explaining how to setup

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.
