Author: admin // Category: internet connection wirelessI have a laptop and a cable iternet connection with a modem. How can i make them wireless? What do i need to buy to make it so i dont have to have my laptop connected to the modem?
You may purchase a wireless router, of which you want to make sure that if your card is b or g, that you buy a router that supports what is already built into your laptop, otherwise you will need a wireless network card. Eitherway you go, a direct connection, will ALWAYS give you the fastest and best connection because wireless, at the moment, is impacted by walls, objects in between, other wireless devices (especially those handy dandy 2.4 Ghz phones or your kid's RC car that you bought em last christmas that they only use when you seem to be on the internet), and possibly even distance. Try it out, and if any problems persist, contact your provider, as they should be able to set you up…and if not, find a new provider and they'll set you up completely free, with modem/router/network card, etc…initially…IF they are reputable provider…
Once you get your router, your WIRELESS NETWORK NAME or SSID is needed as well as your WEP KEY or WIRELESS NETWORK KEY. and when you connect to the internet wirelessly, you will be prompted for those two bits of information…also, it is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommmended that you use WINDOWS' own wireless manager as anything else will conflict with WINDOWS' and you may get disconnected randomly from time to time… XP you have to go to "RUN-> Services.msc-> Wireless zero configuration" and then set everything to restart the service and make sure you press it to start once you make the changes
