How Do I?

Post by Lady In Red »

I'm a complete noob when it comes to a router. I've got a new laptop and I'm wanting to go wireless with it, but I'm not really sure how to hook up this stuff.

I'm with Wildblue and they do not give out info on how to connect to one. They rather you not use a router with their system.

So guys can you please give me some help? Make it simple too! :p lease:
I'm here!! Now what??

Your Lapy probably has wireless built in to it. Most new ones do. You do need a wireless access point at your Prvider end and that plugs into the router. Not sure if you can bypass the router with these. Never tried it. Someone here will know that tho, I'm sure.
