Step 1:\nGetting started\nA broadband connection brings the Internet into your home at blazing speeds. And with a wireless, or Wi-Fi, network, you can get that access on multiple computers throughout your home--and even outside it--without cords. What's more, today's wireless-networking products make broadband Internet sharing easy, inexpensive, and secure. In this Weekend Project, we'll show you how to distribute broadband Internet access among multiple notebook or desktop systems, and we'll walk you through the necessary steps to keep your network protected.\n\nThe core of a Wi-Fi network is a wireless router or gateway. We used the D-Link DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G 802.11g router, which sells for $99 before a $20 rebate. You'll also need a wireless adapter for each system that connects to the network. We installed two D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G 802.11g wireless adapters: a DWL-G650 PC Card adapter for a Windows 2000 notebook PC ($65 before a $10 rebate) and a DWL-G520 PCI adapter for a secondary desktop running Windows XP Home Edition ($69 before a $10 rebate). The primary PC, connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, was running Windows XP Professional.\n\n\n\nTo see more steps on how to set-up a wi-fi network, go to:\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11334_7-5512709-1.html?tag=nav

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.

you don't need a cdrom to "install" internet connections.  You may however need to install some programs or depending on your isp they may have some programs/files they want you to use when accessing your account (yahoo browser, aol browser etc.)\nYou just need to know either the phone number to dial in to your internet provider or hook up a lan (ethernet) cable to the laptop and a high speed modem or install a wireless card to connect wirelessly to the internet.  It all depends on how you are going to connect.\nFirst go to the control panel and select internet options, then go to the connections tab, then you can enter th information there for how you connect.

If your laptop is new, it should come pre-installed with a wi-fi card. If not, you need a wi-fi adapter. Any Radio Shack, Best Buy, or Target stores have adapters and routers. \n\nIf you have a PC in the home with a DSL connection, your modem is more than likely wi-fi capable. If you're not sure, call your ISP. If your modem is wi-fi capable, then all you need to do is get the adapter for your laptop and follow the instructions.\n\nI just did this for my mom. Her laptop came with the wi-fi card so it was easy. \nI got most of myhelp from Wi-fi.org

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.

You need a IEEE 802.11 b/g card for accessing wireless Internet.  Most of today's laptops already have it internally.  You can verify it by going to Start > Control panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Network Adapters.  Check if a wireless card is specified (like the Intel network adapter).  If no wireless card is specified, you can get an external PCMCIA-interface wireless internet card.  The following link gives you a bunch of info on wireless cards based on the PCMCIA interface.  All laptops usually have the PCMCIA slot.

You need to have what they call a wireless capable Network card. With the wireless capable card and the software that goes with it, you can have the Wireless Internet access.\n\nYou need to find out which model of Wireless card you have. You can refer to the manual or call the laptop company to find out what model of card you have. You can go from there.\n\nHope this answer was helpful and please leave me a feedback.\nThanks,\n\nGuru

For Infrastructure (Internet mode)\n\nYou first need to have a WiFi router and an Internet connection.  If you already have these, then you're all set.  If not, you'll need to run and buy a router and get set up for Internet.\n\nOnce that's all set, then in your WiFi router, you'll need to set it up so that you can see it from your PSP. I also recommend giving your router a unique SSID that allows you to easily identify it when you scan for WiFi routers. \n\n1. Under the PSP settings, find Network Settings.  \n2. Then choose, Infrastructure Mode and press X\n3. Then choose 'New Connection' and press X\n4. Then, on the naming screen either press the -> button on the dpad or give the connection a name\n5. After pressing -> button, choose 'Scan'\n6. Find the SSID of your WiFi router and choose it, then press X\n7. On the SSID screen just press the -> key\n8. Choose the type of WLAN security (if none, choose none) and press ->\n9. Choose the Address settings as 'Easy' and press ->\n10. On Setting List press ->\n11. Press the X button to save the connection information\n\nOnce you have your connection saved, you can use it whenever you need to get to the Internet (when you're close to that access point).  You only have to set it up once.  So, when you open the browser, it will ask you to select a connection.  Choose the one you just created.  Games will also ask you for the connection information to envoke Internet play.\n\nIf you have WEP or other security features set up on the WiFi router, you will have to enter the appropriate wireless keys in step 8 to allow it to connect to the router.

You shoud ask the hotspot provider. They can tell you weather you need a user login or a pcmcia card or both. If your computer is not wireless already you will also need a wireless pcmcia card. You DO NOT router, this only if you are setting up your own internet with multiple computers at home.

If you have an internet connection, you can connect via ethernet cable.  If you want to go wireless, the new MacBooks have it built in, but you need to get an Apple Airport router.  Once you do that, scan for the connection via your laptop.  Pretty easy, actually.

First you have to have a wireless card.  You should be able to purchase one for 20 to 50 dollars depending if you have a desktop or laptop.  Second you need a wireless router.  These can be purchased for about 50 to 70 dollars.  The router is them hooked up to you modem and set up.  Add the network name and you are all set.

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.
