or if youre not going to leave the house with it you could use a wireless router and get a internet router card for your laptop, but in most cases wireless interent would be the easiest and you will never have to worry about not being online, unless you hit a spot where that particular company doesnt have service. so it all depends on where and when youre going to be using it...

If your desktop and/or laptops have wifi receivers then you can use them anywhere in the house that gets the signal. You can purchase USB wifi adapters too. I use a USB one all the time for computers I am building that need to go online, I don't have to hook up any wires.

No this modem/router combination does not have wireless capabilities. So you would need to add an access point (or wireless router) in order to be able to use it with a wireless client. For home use, you would probably be better off with just a common DSL modem without the builtin router and a wireless router, as it would be less complicated to set up.

You need an access point ,for example i got a dell inspiron E1505 with a wireless card and i bought from verizon a card to access internet from anywhere!

if you mean to go wireless at your home, you just need a wireless adapter for the laptop, and a wireless router for the main computer the dsl is going to. If you mean to have internet anywhere, you need wifi or sprint, vonage or somethihng, You need to go to the provider you are interested in and get their particular pricing. A home wirelss setup wiell cost you about 75-100 dollars for a card and router, they have kits with both of them in it, Dlink, microsoft, netgear are brand names, linksys...

You can set up a wireless network with ANY internet connection.\n\nHowever, the cost of a few metres of phone extension cable is easily cheaper than the cost of a router and wireless adaptor.

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.

You would pick Wireless broadband at home if you can't get DSL or Cable high speed.   Your other choice would be satellite, so check Hughes-Net.   \n\nOne advantage is that you could protect your system from lightning easier with transient protection equipment.  You see, with a phone line or cable, lightning is a terrible threat in some parts of the country. \n\nThe other tiny advantage is that you could place your equipment anywhere in the house. Hopefully, your wireless broadband service is compatible with a router, so you could share your connection. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

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!
