I HAVE WILDBLUE ON MY DESKTOP, I ALSO HAVE A LAPTOP THAT I WANT TO BE WIRELESS, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHERE TO HOOK IT UP

Wildblue is DSL Internet service provider.
You can change the Internet connection settings of Linksys E3000 manually.
Or you can simply reset the router and reconfigure it by running the CD.
See How to setup Linksys E3000

Theencryption key secures your data from unauthorized access. The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, it needs the router'swireless settings configured ie SSID, WPA or WPA2 encryption key and also thewireless cards in all the laptops and or computers needs to be configured withthese router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktop computers cancommunicate with your wireless router.

The HN9000 should have an ethernet port. You will require two ethernet cables to connect the desktop to the router.
1. Connect the ethernet cable from the Modem to the Ethernet Input port on the Router (It is generally placed away from the other ports on the back of the router.) 2. Connect another ethernet cord from one of the output ports on the router to the desktop computer. 3. On the laptop, turn on your wireless card. The process for this differs from computer to computer. If you were to provide the model of laptop, I could provide you specific instructions. 4. The network setup should be complete.

Shouldnt matter, my choice is Lynksys.

Are you trying to install the router ?
Your internet service provider is wildblue.
First make sure that your computer is able to go online when connected directly to the modem.
If not then you will need to contact ISP and get internet working on modem.
If yes then you can set up the router manually.

FIrst of all is it wireless or wired connection?
if it is wireless then you have to run the wireless asstn from vista or need to contact the ISP to setup the account .

It is remotely possible but will be very complicated. You will have to leave the computer with the Mercury powered up all the time and use internet connection sharing to provide access to the other computers. But also you will need to reconfigure your router as a dumb switch since your PC will now be the DHCP server. In short it's not easy and not practical - but it is possible.

You should be aware of a class action lawsuit that Belkin and the complaintent settled recently. The lawsuit was filed complaining that certain Belkin routers did not obtain optimal speeds as advertised.
Belkin has agreed to provide affected customers a discount program to purchase a new router. You will need to search elsewheres for the details.

Hi,

A wireless router is device where in you can connect 2 or more computers in your home network. It is secured and is capable or providing you wireless connection. You can also get to connect printer wirelessly. Basically theres a lot of stuff you can do with a router depedning what brand it is and model. Let us know if you needed how to set it up. Just lemme know.

the internet port on the router needs to be connected to the Wildblue modem.

everything else connects to the OTHER ports on the router, never to the internet port.

you may need to power cycle both your wildblue modem and your router at this point.
