Wireless modem? They obviously have no idea what they are talking about. They probably think you do not have wireless in your laptop. It is hard to tell what the problem is it could be the enycrption, or it might be that the router is only 11mbpsB.

Do you have DSL? If so, USB DSL modems suck. Even if you do get it working, you will have problems again in the future. Call you DSL provider and tell them that your modem is defective, and that you want an ethernet modem. Ethernet modems work way better.\n\nI use to be a DSL tech for AT&T. If I was on a repair job and I saw the customer had a USB DSL I'd replace it because I knew I saw saving myself a trip back out there.

You can try wireless option if Your hotel supports it. Hotels can provide internet wireline connection also. Or you can buy a prepaid card from any ISP in that region when connecting via digital phone lines.

You get it by signing up for the internet. If you're already hooked up, then I would call my internet provider for help. Good enough, yes?

You need to connect a wireless router to your cable modem/dsl modem.  You also need a wireless card for your computer.\n\nOnce you have both of those its pretty easy to set up, you could check the instruction manuals and they would walk you through it.

well you can either buy you a long network cable to run through walls up to your computer and hook it up.orgo wireless--my dsl provider is frontier and my modem has a wireless port built in all you need to do is get a wireless adapter from your near-by walmartfor 50 bucks--install it and hook it up and see if it works.if not--and your modem does have the wireless antena built in you might need to see how to turn it on from inside the modem on your pc.if your modem doesn't have a wireless antenna built in..then you need to buy a wireless router to hook it up to--this is how i got my pc's and tivos hooked up in my house all wireless..if any help needed let me know and i will see what i can do

You will have to get a router. Are you on dial-up or DSL or what?\nI have Dsl and the phone co. had to walk me through the DOS part to tell the computers to use the same phone line.

Linksys sells a 'booster'. Also, they now make routers with built in booster circuitry. It might also be that the 'new' modem is simply bad. Have a tech check it out.

Buy a Wireless router and plug your broadband modem into the router.  Then sink-up the computers to the router.  That should be it.

Dude...use your cell phone as a modem. Go to Google and search for the cable for your specific phone.

the Internet at the hotel would most likely be offered through a plug in the wall and/or wirelessly in the lobby area....each hotel should have instructions on how to connect..you usually would need a cable to run from the plug in the wall to your computer (most likely a laptop) unless, of course, you travel with a desktop (unlikely)....your dial-up service that you use at home would be of no use here.....if you are referrring to AOL or something like that, well they have websites (www.AOL.com) you can go to and check your email even if you are connected away from home.....\non further note...the cable used to connect would have the rj-45 connections on each end...these are the bigger plugs that look like smaller phone line plugs (rj-11)... good luck!
