    If you connect the phone to the PC via USB, you should also be able to turn on USB tethering to use the phones network.

You need to turn on portable wifi hotspot in your wireless and networks menu. Go to portable wifi hotspot and turn on, leave settings as they are and make a note of the security key. Turn on wifi on your PC and search for your phone 'HTC portable hotspot' for instance and enter the security key you were given on the setup page. You should now be connected.

SOURCE: Wi-Fi problem Toshiba A15-S157 laptop

If your laptop has a di-fi switch/button chances are you have one integrated on the main board of the laptop, check if the wi-fi adapter is installed properly by going to the Device Manager and check Network Adapters normally a wi-fi adapter will show up if not check if you have any devices listed under network devices(Network Controller, Ethernet Controller). Now if the wi-fi card is installed and the status on the Device Manager say's that it's working properly, you may now check your laptop for a 3rd pary wi-fi utility/application that manages your connection look for it on the System Tray on the lower right hand side near the clock or go to all programs and look for any WLAN utility, when you open the utility make sure the wi-fi radio is turned on or enabled.

SOURCE: Want Instant wi fi when turning on my laptop

Hp comes with a wi-fi utility and I dont find it very useful, so first, you might want to uninstall the software from add or remove programs and then use windows to manage your wi-fi.
Once you connect to a wireless network from 'network connections', it will automatically be set to default and should connect at the computer startup.
If it does not connect automatically.go to 'change order of prefered networks' and put your prefered network on top and set to automatically.

Why wont my Wi Fi work?

If you have not already: contact the supplier and get a new dongle that is recommended for your application. That should at least eliminate the dongle being defective. If the problem persists you may have a problem with the Equipment not receiving or processing the signal from the Dongle properly. I that case you will have to deal with the company through warranty or find out where there is a repair depot that will service the equipment.

I would like my computer to be wireless instead of having to hook it up to the modem every time how do I do this is their software I can buy or download

If u have a late model laptop, it would have come with wi Fi (wireless) switch, most likely in the front this turns your with Fi on and off, if its a late model you can buy a with Fi card for laptops, or a USB wi Fi dongle which allows you to connect to wi Fi , they can be bought at Harvey Norman or eBay ..

Skype sometimes working!

Hi,

Looks like connectivity issue, so it can be wi-fi dongle.
If any other pc/laptop has wired internet connection Or if you can wire-connect present pc/laptop then you can test using skype from it. If it works fine then wi-fi dongle maybe the culprit.

Also there are many sites for testing internet connection speed etc.
Test your internet connection using the dongle.

Wireless Printer Server for Lexmark Optra 312

You needn't go for any Server, just get a USB Wi Fi Dongle (If your Printer uses the Wi Fi technology). Install it and turn it on. If your Printer has Wi Fi connectivity, the Dongle will sense the Signals & will detect your Printer and you'll have all the options similar to Wired printer. For more help, you may call a Service Personnel or the vendor that sells you the dongle will be of help in this concern.
