The computer needs a wireless NIC to connect to the router, so, yes.

sorry, but you got it wrong. you have either not a router but an access point or you bought the wrong print server.\nwith the print server you bought, your router should look like this (it should have a 4 port switch)\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?Image=33%2D122%2D022%2D14%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D15%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D16%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D17%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D18%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D20%2Ejpg&CurImage=33%2D122%2D022%2D15%2Ejpg&Description=NETGEAR+WGT624+IEEE+802%2E3%2C+IEEE+802%2E11b%2Fg+Wireless+Firewall+Router+%2D+Retail\nor you can get a wireless print server (this works with an access point) but i wouldn't recommend it, because a new router with 4 port switch is cheaper.\nthe printer is hooked to the print server and the Cat5(e) cable (RJ45 regular) goes from the print server to one of the 4 ports on the router.

look for 802.11g routers they are faster than 802.11b. look for one with long range it might be useful. Usually the more antennas the bigger the range.

What?  Who do you get your broadband from?\n\nYour broadband vendor provides service, and he should not know or care what you have attached to it, it should cost the same.\n\nOf course, if you have them install it, they will charge you for that.   And if you call them up with network problems, they are not interested in troubleshooting your router.

You probably need to call your tech support about that problem..I run two computer's from a router all the time and both have equal speed

Are you saying that the laptop does not already have a wireless card in it.  Most new laptops sold are already equipped with 802.11g (aka 54g) wireless cards.  I would check your manual or specs to make sure that it doesn't already have a card in it.  If it doesn't read on.\n\nIf you want to use WiFi in your home then you will need a router.  My personal favorite is anything by Netgear but any basic WiFi router should serve your needs.\n\nAs I said above if your laptop doesn't already have a WiFi card, then you will need to get a PCMCIA or USB wireless adapter.\n\nI would bet though, that the new laptop does already have a WiFi adapter in it.

You probably need to install the driver for the modem that should have come with it on a CD.  If it is a new modem, the install should be relatively straight-forward.

That's very likely because your adapter can handle alot more\nthan you're outside link can provide.\nI.e. if you have a 100mbit network card connected to a broadband\ndsl modem with 6mbit you can easily see that the network utilization\nwon't go up too far. It's calculated by the link speed of the adapter.\nThat doesn't have to be the speed you're actually connected with\non the other side of the modem or router.

First thing you need to do and to save yourself a trip to the store more than once is check to see if your laptop already has a wireless adaptor. To do this:\nClick Start\nControl Panel\nNetwork Connections\nYou will see one that will have wireless adaptor on it if the system has it installed.\nIf you do not see it you will need to purchase that right along with a router.\nIf you have a cable modem you will need to purchase a broadband router. I recommend a Linksys.\nYour wireless card will be an external card that will slide into a slot on the side of your laptop.\nOnce you purchase these items follow the instructions on installation. Its not hard.

The speed depend on your ISP (Internet Service Provider)\nCheck with your ISP first about the speed

The wireless G standard can only support connections of 54mbps. If your connection was indication anything higher then that then it was a mistake. There are some routers boosting double G standards over a G connection however, you are still truely only getting a 54mbps connection, what they have done is taking a similar compression technology that dial providers are using to give "faster then dialup connections" They are supposed to be working on the new N standard which is supposed to bring us closer to the 100mbps speed, but until they do, you will not connect any faster. and if it helps, even the fastest home internet connection today still doesnt even approach 54mbps that your wireless nic offers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G\n\nUpdate the firmware from 3rd party.  Much better than linksys firmware.  All your troubles will be gone.  Best firmware HyperWRT.  Did I mention it was free?  You need v4 routers or less.  Linksys did a bad thing and downgraded their routers with v5.

Belkin 54g would refer to a wireless router.  The owner probably has his wireless network named that and set up with no security.  Your wireless adapter is probably set to get on the first network it finds, which is apparently someone else's besides yours.  You're probably on someone else's internet connection when this happens.

First of all your laptop has to have a wireless adapter. Check if you already have it. Connect your broadband modem to the wireless router using a RJ-45 ethernet cable. Run the cd which came with the wireless router and you;re ready .\nabt 300 m
