Hello,\nIf you recently purchased your laptop the chances are you already have what it takes to connect to a wifi hotspot which is a wifi pc card. Almost all new laptops come with one built in. So all you have to do now is search for open wifi spots and simply connect to them to be able to access the internet. Every connection that is not secure you can use in public places. Some might even charge you a minimal fee for usage. For that type of hotspots you will be redirected to their payment page.\n\nIf you need more info please provide me with your laptop model and make and I will get some more info for you. Hope this helps.\n\n-Mr Chi!

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.

You were told the wrong things when you bought the router.\n\nYes, if you want the entire thing to work wirelessly you'll need to buy a wireless NIC.

Without any specific detail, it's hard to give a usual answer. But I would suggest:\n\n1) Go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop to look up any related information.\n2) First and foremost, make sure if the WLAN adapter on your laptop is enabled or not. Some laptops have a button to turn on/off WLAN. Also, go to Device Management (type "devmgmt.msc" in Run dialog box) and see if the WLAN adapter is enabled.\n3) Go to Start -> Settings -> Network Connections to verify if there is an existing connection configured to use the WLAN adapter.\n4) Also check the wireless router/gateway in your home/office that you want to connect to. Is the signal strong? Is your laptop's WLAN adapter granted access to it?\n\nSorry if I cannot be more specific. Hope this helps!

Most laptops have a wireless card built in.  You shouldn't need any further adapters.  If it doesn't have built in wireless (802.11b or 802.11g), then you'll need a PCI card or USB wireless receiver.\n\nWhat are you connecting to?  If you're just going to webcafes, hotels, your office, schoole, etc, you don't need anything further, just connect to the existing wireless network.\n\nIf you're looking to get wireless within your house, you'll need a wireless access point.  This doesn't necessarily need to be a router, but since you want to share our internet connection with your existing desktop, you'll need a hub or router of some sort to allow this.  Fortunately, most wireless access points double as small (4-5 computer) routers.\n\nNote that depending on your ISP, the DSL or cable modem they gave you may already have the wireless and router capabilities built in.  If not, give them a call and see if their current models do - most broadband providers will provide you a new modem after you've been a customer for 12 months or more.\n\nWhat you want to shop for is a wireless access point that is also a router.  This should run you about $20-$60, depending on how beefy you want.  The lower end will get you 802.11b, which will provide wireless speeds up to 11 mb/s.  The higher end will get you 802.11g, which can get upwards of 55mb/s wifi speeds.  Get the best you can afford.\n\nThe wireless router will have 3-5 plugs on the back, plus an antenna.  You'll connect the source plug to your DSL or cable modem and one of the outputs to your desktop.  Use your desktop to connect to the router via a web browser and configure the wireless options.  (Give it a name, specify security if you want to keep it private, etc; the router should come with specific instructions on this)  Once configured, connect to it from your laptop and enjoy.

Best way? Get a router. If your laptop is wireless ready get a wireless router. If not, either get a wireless card for the laptop or buy a wired router. Wired routers are cheap! You can also buy a special usb cable to do this but its a pain, the cable will cost as much as a wired router, it uses internet connection sharing which is not worth a hoot and will slow you down and by the time you get done fighting with it to get it to work you would have been money ahead to go with the router.

Greetings!\n\nFirst, if your laptop does not have an internal wireless card you must purchase one that goes into your pcmcia slot on the side of the laptop.\nThen when you start the laptop you will see a balloon in the task bar that tells you it has found a wireless network.\nClick on it and it will show you the network or networks. Choose the one with the most strength and then click the profile, and or connect button.\nThen bring up your browser like internet explorer and you will be on.\n\nGood Luck

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

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.

Get a wireless PC card and put it into your PC slot...you can get either b or g for your laptop.\n\nIt looks like this:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000056SSM/002-2707582-1676853?v=glance&n=172282\n\nIf you already have WIFI on your laptop then you dont need this card, but if you dont, then you need to force your laptop to be wireless by getting the card above.\n\nIts pretty cheap. You can also get it on ebay for cheaper. Once you slide it in, you can automatically connect.

you only need a USB WLAN Stick, either 54Mb (802.11g) or 11Mb (802.11b) and assure that the stick is also USB 1.1 & 1.0 compatible (all newer ones are USB 2.0)\nlooks like this\nhttp://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/58647385498080_0.jpg

She'll need a wireless router to connect her modem through. And for the laptop, she'll need a wireless PCMCIA card or wireless USB adapter, preferably from the same manufacturer as the router. If it's a recent laptop it may already have an inbuilt wireless card in it.
