Question

How do you get Wi-FI?

Answer 1

first off, you have to have a router/switch,wireless access point and of course a wireless card. If you are planning to make a wireless connection at home there's no need for a server if you have a DSL connection(you can still have a server if you like) all you have to do is  to connect your router to your DSL modem then plug in the wireless access point or you can simply buy a linksys wireless router. its a router and access point in one and its easier to configure than the first option that I gave you.

Answer 2

First, make sure you have broadband internet service. Your service provider (Telus, Shaw, etc.) should give you a device called a modem. Set this up according to the manual, but don't plug anything into the rectangular ethernet jack.

Now, you need to purchase a wireless router. Any decent store, even Wal*Mart should have them. Wireless N is the best, but many newer devices can't take advantage of its technology. I would suggest Wireless G for now.

You should have a wireless router now. Follow the instructions in the manual.

You're pretty much finished! Go on a wireless device (laptop) and choose to connect to a wireless access point. If there's more than one router in the available list, choose the one with the name of the brand of your router - that's most likely the one you just purchased.

Great! Now you have Wireless Internet (also called WiFi or WLAN)!

Answer 3

Generally you have the choice if you have wireless or not.  First you have to pay for an internet connection via dsl, cable or satallite.

You would then get a modem, at that point you can choose to get a router and it could be wireless or not.  All wi-fi means is wireless, and how you get there is in your control.

Answer 4

Wi-Fi is the wireless connection to the internet. You can get it by using a router, witch transmits a wireless signal.
