If your laptop has WiFi enabled, then you can go to any local internet cafe like a Starbucks, etc. and it should work fine.  If you are looking to get wireless broadband from home Time Warner can set you up with their Road Runner product for around #12.95 per month for the first year.  Hope this helps

Install a WLAN (802.11G) PCI wireless card. You can buy the wireless card along with Wireless Router.

Install a wireless pcmcia adapter card if not already equipped. Have software to facilitate the usage of said card. Be near a WAP or wireless access point and join the network.

On your laptop? Just click on network connections and search for a network and then select one and connect. (It will not allow it if it has been password enabled)

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!

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.

G'day,\n\nUnfortunately you did not mention the brand and model of the laptop.\n\nTry these 3 steps:\n1. Check the network properties (Start-Settings-Control Panel - Network Connections).  Find your wireless network card icon, right-click and select Enable.  If you cannot find the wireless network card icon, it means that either the laptop does not supplied with one, or the driver is not installed (in this case, install the driver).\n2. If step 1 does not make it on, check your laptop casing.  It may have a switch to turn the connection on or off manually.  Switch it on.\n3. You need to check the laptop documentation.  Most laptops come with the network connection management software and this software may give you problems in enabling the wireless connection.\n\nHope this helps.  Good Luck!

You have half of the equation solved. You'll need a wireless router that will serve as an access point for your wireless network card. First determine what type of wireless card you have in your laptop(802.11x or wi-fi)* then use that information to choose the correct access point. Once you figure out the specifications on your network card, check out the link below for more information and reviews on wireless routers.

To connect a wireless adapter to a router you'll have to configure the router to accept your wireless adatper. The operating system like Windows 98 only handles the wireless settings on the adapter.\n\nAt the back or side of your wireless adapter there should be a key/serial called as "Physical Address". Note that number down. \n\nThen open up the configuration portal of your wireless router. In the configuration portal, there should be a space that asks for wireless access card / physical address.\n\nenter the PA in that space and set up the router to accept the card for wireless access.\n\n-------x------\n\nFor the best i would greatly suggest you to use the manual of your router. If you have an old router, visit the router manufacturer website for online manuals

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!

You would need a wireless adapter.  A lot of notebooks have them built in, but if yours doesn't, you'd need to purchase one that's compatible with your school's wireless network (check for the 802.11 a/b/g - it's the a or b or g part that you need to find out).  You can get USB ones that are easy to install and cost about $30 - $40.

Hi\n\n1) Plug the phone line into the back of the router (remember to fit a microfilter)\n\n2) Connect the Router to each of the PC's that you want to connect to the internet using either a network cable or a wireless card.\n\n3) In a web browser on one of the PC's that are connected to the router, enter the following in the address bar: 192.168.0.1. Press enter and you should reach you router config.  (if 192.168.0.1 doesn't work then have a look in your manual for the default IP of the router)\n\n4) In the config for the router there should be an option that allows you to enter your user name and password for you ISP. Enter the details that the ISP gave you into here and click 'connect'. Your router should now connect to the internet. (assuming you've entered all the correct details).\n\nGood luck!!

The brand doesn't matter - if you have wireless network (card) on your notebook (which most of todays notebooks have), you will be able to connect to the internet any place as long as that place has:\n\n1. An UNSECURED wireless network in the vicinity.\n2. A SECURED network, but have a password to it.\n\nYou will see when you get the notebook and the wireless router, that you can actually set your wireless router (network) to be secured by putting a password protection - which means, anyone  who connects to internet using your wireless network, would need a password. \n\nUnsecured wireless network allows practically anyone to (who is in the vicinity) to connect to your network and even steal information (using sniffers) that is exchanged over that network. For example, if you leave your wireless network unsecured, your neighbor won't even need an internet connection, as they can easily connect using your wireless network.\n\n.

If the dataport is a wireless router you'll need to have either an internal wireless eithernet on your laptop or a PCMCIA wireless eithernet card. To set up you connection you will need to go to the host computer and setup a wireless network connection by going to Control Panel from the Start Menu and  selecting Wireless Network Setup Wizard. The directions there should be easy to follow.

Do you have a network card in your computer, or included with the existing computer board?  You need to run a host computer and have a network card in it, then it helps to control the router so you can contact other computers.\n\nI run my high-speed Internet connection into my cable router box, and then into my router.  I then run a wire to my PC Computer, and put a wireless card in my notebook.\n\nThis may help:\nThen you need a network card for each machine.  These cards talk with the router, and through it the modem, and then the Internet.  If you buy a wireless router then you will be paying more for that.  You will also need wireless cards to get the wireless benefit.  A wireless network is good if you have a portable machine (notebook) or if you don’t want to feed wires all over your house.  I use a wireless network and a wireless card for my notebook, and then I use a wire and wired card to connect my PC, since I don’t move it around.  I placed the modem near the PC to keep the wire short.  So it is possible to mix a wired connection and a wireless connection if you buy a wireless router.  I use a Linksys system with Linksys cards.  For the best performance I would make sure that my cards and router are from the same company.  (Linksys.com--routers:  http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115417027773&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FvisitorWrapper) (Linksys downloads:  http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Content_C1%26cid%3D1115416835852%26site%3DUS&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FvisitorWrapper)\n\nThick walls, like brick or concrete blocks, can block a wireless connection but the signal can still get through the walls (or the windows) and be received outside the house.  If this happens then it is possible for someone to hitch hike on your network and get free network access.  If you have a wireless router than it might be wise to get a firewall program to prevent people from entering your machine.  With a wired connection you system will be more secure, but you sacrifice the portability.  If you live in a residential area then few network hounds will try to steal your broadband connection.  I use Zone Alarm, which includes Cookie control and anti-spyware software.  It costs $40 per year (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_zap.jsp;jsessionid=EuaAEjwOb8Z3Czd62TO1PO38fnQ0zqVFQd5S8NLKVTzzeq3rakI8!1792791820!-1062696904!7551!7552!NONE?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en)\n\nInstall the cards in the computers.  With a notebook computer you can put the network card inside one of the slots on the computer, you don’t have to take it apart.  For a PC you have to take off the cover and plug in the new network card.\n\nThen go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial up Connections > Make new Connection.  Then follow the wizard.  If a driver is required then it will be included with the router, but usually they don’t need drivers.\n\nIf this is beginning to sound too complicated then you should get a computer pro to do it for you.  Best Buy offers the Geek Squad who will come out to your home to set things up, but it will cost more.  It is the best option though.  If you can bring both computers, cards, and router to a dealer then you can set the network up there, in their shop.  Then when you come home you can connect the network router to your modem.  This should work, but I can’t guarantee it.\n\nYou can buy the equipment on-line or buy it through eBay, but you will have to set up the Network yourself.  If you go to a computer store and purchase the equipment there then the salesman can give you advice on which system to buy and some hints on how to set it up.  It would be smart to either bring in your computers or to bring in a card from each machine to make sure that you get the proper network cards.  Most computer stores have an in-store-shop that can set up your network there.\n\nIf y
