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.

There are a few ways to go wireless:\n\n1. You can use the suggestions others have had and sign up for a standard cable modem or DSL service. Many providers will give you a modem that has wireless support. That's a great solution. \n\n2. If your cable modem / DSL service doesn't include a wireless, you can buy a wireless router for about $50 at any office supply / big box store. They come with instructions and installation discs, so just about anyone who can use a computer can get connected. You just connect the wireless router to your cable / DSL modem, follow the instructions, and you're wireless.\n\n3. The big cellular companies all offer wireless Internet connections on their networks. For something like $60 a month, you can use your connection anyplace they have cell phone service. This is especially great if you travel a lot, and need a reliable connection no matter where you go.\n\n4. Most coffee shops, hotels/ motels and many highway service areas offer free and open wireless Internet. That's not reliable, per se, but it is easy to find.\n\nAll that said, your wireless laptop should tell you about every wireless network it can find when it first starts up, and ask you if you want to connect to it. Just say yes and the PC should take care of the rest.

Wireless internet is just a connection to the net via radio signal rather than a hard wire - pretty much the same thing as a cell phone's connection to the telephone network. \n\nYou'll need a wireless card - it plugs into the side or back of your laptop - that will "talk" to the internet for you. You can get one at Radio Shack, any computer store, any truck stop, or even on eBay. \n\nOnce you have the wireless card plugged in and set up, you'll be able to connect to the internet whenever you're within range of a "hot spot". Hot spots are everywhere (even Iowa has free hot spots at each interstate rest area!), so you should be able to connect to the net in all but the most remote places. \n\nGood luck! - Stuart

I do not understand your question but what I think you mean is that you want to have wireless internet in your new house. Well, follow the following directions and it is quite long. First of all you need the following equipment: a high speed internet connection, a router, a notebook adapter or PCI card. Once you have these, you can insall the cd that came with the router or you can follow my directions. I suggest you read mine so that you will get more familiar with it. Let me explain, the high speed internet is for connecting to the internet, the router as its name implies sends wireless signals throughout your house or within its range and then the notebook adapter recieves the signal. You need at least two computers for this to work. Let us assume in a house there are two computers, one is a desktop and the other is a notebook or laptop.  The desktop which is probably in the living room is directly connected to the modem through an ethernet cable. Unplug this ethernet cable and then plug this cable into the prt on the router that says "internet". Now the ethernet cable should be connected form the modem to the router. After that is done, connect the cable that came with your router (mine was blue) and plug it into any of the ports on the router labeled 1,2,3,4 and plug the other end into the ethernet slot on your desktop computer. Now the desktop is ready. The only thing left to do is to install your router on the desktop by slotting in the disc that came with your router and following the directions.\nNow go to your laptop and insert the notebook adapter and install the disc that came with it. If you follow these directions carefully, you will have a wireless network in your home. I hope this answer helps you. Good Luck.

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'll need a wireless router, and wireless capability in every device that you want to connect to it. If you have a computer that doesn't have wireless capability, you can buy a card to add that capability.\n\nOnce you have the equipment, you should follow the instructions that come with the equipment. If you aren't technically inclined, you can get someone to do it for you, like Best Buy's Geek Squad.

You will need a wireless router and a wireless card in your laptop.  If you have neither, you will spend around $100 - $120 to get both.  If your laptop has built in wireless capability, then you will spend about $50 - $60 to get the router.

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!

Having a wireless signal and IP does not necessarily mean that you should have internet connection. \n\nIn fact, you can have a wireless router at your house without even having a DSL or any sort of internet connection. all this will allow you to do is see your computers on the same network within your house (if you have multiple computers).\n\nTo address your problem there are a couple of things you can check. I'm going to assume that you have a DSL connection with a plan that has dynamic IP that is always connected. \n\n1- Make sure that your DSL modem connection is correct:\n  a- Check that your phone cord (RJ-11) is plugged in to your phone jack (in the wall), and into the phone input of your modem.\n  b- (if it's a DSL connection), ensure that you have installed the phone line filters on all other phones in your house (instructions are with your DSL modem package, and filters would be in that package as well)\n2- Ensure that your modem is turned on, and it has Data link, Sync  (And obviously ... power :) ) \n3- Ensure that you have your network cable going from your modem Data port (RJ-45) to your UPLINK on your router.  (sometimes this port is called : Internet on some routers.\n4- Check your router configuration to make sure that it's setup to grab the correct IP configuration from your ISP (internet service provider) . if it's a dynamic IP, all you have to do is setup your WAN setting on your router to DHCP , and it'll do the rest. if you have a STATIC IP, then you probably have to look at the instructions that your ISP sent you when you signed for IP, Gateway and DNS information. \n5- If you are already on the wireless network, you can verify by check your laptop IP. sometime your link says that it's connected, but your IP will something like that 169.254.1.1 , etc ... that's not a real IP, and therefore will not allow you to connect to the internet. \nIf you left your settings on default on your router, most routers have an IP similar to this: 192.168.1.x \nso your laptop should have an IP that is in the same format, the last number would be anywhere from 2 to 254.\n\nYou can check your laptop IP by going to start /run ... and type cmd, and press enter, then on the command prompt, type: ipconfig and press enter. \n\nThese are basic steps to troubleshooting. Please feel free to email me if you're having more issues, or your issue is not addressed in these instructions.
