I am wireless with a desktop. I bought a wireless laptop and notebook with a Dlink. I am trying to get it so I can use it away from home but can't get connected to the internet.

If you are using an external Dlink ensure that you installed the drivers first, if you turn on the laptop you will see the Dlink network program.
If you start it up you can scan for wireless networks.
Go near to the router with the wireless laptop, and scan for wireless networks.
Ensure that you are picking up the right one and connect to your own network. You will probably need to enter the network key.
If you get far from the router you can lose the signal, even in the room aside if there is an obstacle.

I am trying to explain it to you, be patient.

Go near the wireless router, the box connected to the internet.


Turn on laptop.


You will see a small picture of something resembling a network, on the lower right hand corner of the screen near to the clock.


Click it and open the wireless network management.


....here things change depending on wireless card model, post model if you want details...


find the scan for wireless networks option in the wireless network management.


Find your own network on the list that will be displayed.


Click on it , you will be asked the network key.


enter your network key, if you do not know it you cannot connect, you probably will have to wait for your grandchildren.
