Answer 1

you have to buy a wireless router and sink the I.P address into your computer hard drive you could also go to your internet company ask the to set it up for you

Answer 2

I am positive your laptop has a wireless card built in. They dont make laptops without them anymore unless you tell them not to include it.

What you need to do is plug the router into the broadband cable, then open the wireless control panel in the lower right hand corner of your screen. It will search for networks and your router will show up.

When you try and connect, it will ask you for a 17 letter password, which your owners manual will tell you. It is usually on the back of the router, listed under "ssid". After that, your laptop will connect every time it is within range, automatically, unless you tell it not to.  

Answer 3

you will buy a wireless router and you will configure it

if you will not able you mail me then i will configuer it

Answer 4

Your laptop should have a slot, slightly wider than a phone jack, which accepts a 'CAT5' (aka  'Ethernet') cable which you could plug into a 'router' .

Laptops also have a wireless (wifi) capability, so a wireless router will be needed for your home/office use.  Most have install CD's for easy hook-up.

Traveling around, you may find wifi 'hotspots' ; some will be 'open' (no password required); others will be encrypted (password required).

Note that 'open' means all traffic to your lapper is in plain text, so snoopers can read all your internet work, so be careful.

Answer 5

u need to go to the website of the router company and u can setup the link and password from there and maybe there's a owner's manual to help u or call and ask for tech support from the retail where u bought it from
