How to enable my wireless router to accept wifi connections?

Answer 1

Well, most wireless routers have wifi enabled by default. If yours doesn't you just need to log in to the routers interface using a wired machine and enable the wifi connection.  Be sure to change the SSID (the name) and enable security!

Tell us what router you have we can be more specific!

Answer 2

It sounds like your wifi router has its wireless disabled by default.  This is a security measure.  You need to go into the interface of the router and enable your wireless.  You also should make sure you enable security on your wireless.  Usually you open a web browser, but instead of typing in www.google.com or something like that, you type in 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.  It will usually be one of those two IP addresses.  Then, a dialog box pops up asking you what is your username and password.  On a linksys router, the username stays blank and the password is admin.

Beyond that, I can't help you any further.  You need to tell us what what brand of router you are using and the model number.

You already bought wireless equipment, but I want you to keep in the back of your mind the technology called powerline.  You can watch the tutorial here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=NoBYr3EzkPw  New Egg sells several powerline devices.
