Either turn the wireless service on the PC on, or if it doesn't have one, you may need to buy a wireless 'dongle' that fits into a spare USB port on the PC. If you edit your post with more details (the PC and make of router) you'll get a more exact answer from some of the technical people here.

Any model will work, it is just a standard cable connection, the router will have a setup wizard, just set it up to be a cable connection, not pppoe, plug in the computer and away you go...

You will need a wireless router and an wireless card.\n\nEssentially, the wireless router will broadcast a signal, and the card (attached to your computer) will accept the signal and talk with the router.\n\nUsually you use wireless on laptops, in which case, unless you have an internal card, you'll need a PCMCIA wireless card, or a USB wireless card.\n\nIf you're looking to hook up your desktop, a PCI wireless card or USB wireless card will work. Using a wireless card on a desktop computer simply allows you to have your internet conneceted computer anywhere in the house, and you aren't limited to where your phone jacks / cable terminals are. No need to run wires through the house.\n\nI would recommend the Linksys WRT54G & WMP54G or WPC54G, depending on whether it's a laptop or desktop. \n\nFollow the instructions on the device for setting it up.

My Netgear router kept crashing so I got a D-Link and haven't had any problems since. Get a 802.11G router. YOu can hard wire your desktop and just have the laptop connect wirelessly or get a PCI wireless adapter for the desktop so they can both be wireless. Depends on what you want to do.

Very simply get a wireless router and a broadband connection (i.e. DSL or Cable modem)

there are several ways to connect your wireless router. if it has a 4 port switch, it can be connected with a LAN cable (RJ45-RJ45 regular). that cable is what you should have to setup the router (don't do it in no case via a wireless connection).\nthe other way is a connection via a wireless PCI card or a WLAN USB dongle.\n\nPCI Wireless-G Adapter\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124115\nUSB 2.0 Wireless-G USB Dongle\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833171004\nRJ45 CAT5e Patch Cable\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812106322

To use wireless, your computers need to be wireless too. Or you can just connect your ISP to the wireless router and use it as a normal router and connect your computers to it using an ethernet adapter.\n\nYour router should have come with an install CD. You need to setup your router to connect with your ISP first. The steps on CD is pretty self-explanatory. Set it up first to your ISP, then you can connect your other computers to it. If you have a wireless WIFI laptop, then it should detect it automatically after setup. If you have a wireless desktop, it too should detect it. If you want to use a connector, then you need an ethernet adapter to connect from your PC to the router. I am not sure if your belking router has a USB port in the back, but normally they have ethernet ports.\n\nIf you need more help, just contact me through my profile.

If you have firewire, use that - it's fast.  I think if you use an ethernet cable, that should work also.  You just have to use the Windows Networking Wizard thing and it should be fine.

You can get what you need at Walmart, a wireless router, card and just slip the disk from the router box into your main computer, it will tell you how to connect everything.

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 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.

you are going to have to configure your router.  Follow the directions that came with it.\nIt may also be set to automatically require a password, which you will need to enter in your computer (or disable this function and make it an open network)

The best way is probably through a wi-fi router, but if you don't want to add a wireless adapter to your computer you can consider using one of the power outlets ethernet adapters in the market -- they will use the electric wiring in your house to route the ethernet traffic -- they work great (I have one)\n\nCheck out the products from linksys - http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416874725&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

There are four ways.\n\n1.  Run an ethernet cord from the router to your computer.\n\n2.  Buy (because SBC recently stopped including) a USB cord and hook it up to to a USB jack on your 2nd computer.\n\n3.  If you want wireless, put the included CD in your new computer and follow instructions.  \n\n4.  If you don't have the CD, but want to connect wirelessly, use the number under the barcode uder the 2Wire router as the encyption code, in the "connect to wireless network" settings on your computer

First install the router on the desktop. \nConnect the modem to the router\nconnect the router to the desktop\nthen, follow the user's manual instructions on how to set up dhcp services (i dont know how ur particular router would do that because all routers are different)\nthen configure your notebook for wireless access. \nmake sure u use WEP security so that no one accesses / uses ur connection.

You can do a network connection using router and network cables, the standard ethernet cables, but if you need to connect only 1 pc to 1 laptop, you dont need a router, instead you can use Crossover Cable and directly connect from your PC network card slot to Laptop's network card slot
