Connecting laptop/computer to wireless router
If you have a wireless router and it is connected to the DSLor cable modem and Internet then -To connect to your wireless router, the router needsits wireless settings to be configured with the SSID, encryption key etc., alsothe wireless cards and wireless adapters in all the laptops/computers needs tobe configured with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops/desktopcomputers can communicate with your wireless router and access the Internet via the DSLor cable modem.

yes you connect your modem , via ethernet to the back of router

If you connect the computer directly to the modem, does it work?
If that works then the modem is working.
Now connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
You will need to open the set up page of the router to check the settings of the router.
You can set up the router without the CD also.
It is very easy.

Desk top to internet is OK.
How about Destop through Router connection to Internet OK?
Assuming you want to connect wireless from Lap top to Network, need to configure correctly for wireless in Router.

Shut down lap top, power down your router and then modem.
Wait 3 minutes. Power up modem wait 3 minutes and then power up router, make sure all lights are on
and then power up laptop.

Also make sure you've got DHCP enabled in the router.

It might be an idea to upgrade the firmware which can be downloaded from manufacturers' website

you have to switch on your laptop wifi

hey thats easy man dont worry, if you have a existing broadband at home, just connect the broadband to your router, then connect the cable that comes up with the router to your laptop. then access the web configuration of the router, the ip address is usually written in the manual. then configure it with the settings that your Internet Service Provider gave you to connect. then configure the wireless settings and your done... if you still have problems, please feel free to contact me again..........
