Help - How do I set up my laptop wirelessly?

Edna, on Monday 7 July 2008 à 14:20:23

Hello,

I do not have much idea about computers so wonder if someone can help. I have a windows xp computer which is connected to a wireless belkin g router via an ethernet cable, which in turn is connected to the intenet via a ntl
cable broadband modem (Virgin media). I think I have managed to set up the router correctly. My husband has now bought a laptop and wants to connect it wirelessly so that he can access the internet, etc.

Could someone please tell me how we can use this laptop wirelessly anywhere else in the house? I have a system disk for the Belkin Router and have bought a Blue Next network adaptor which I was told I would need. Can someone please tell me how to set all this up? I have given up trying!

Thanks.....

Edna

Configuration: Windows XP

Then view connection network and select the wifi device that your have on the laptop -reflesh it and select your router ..

It will ask you for a network access code enter -

You should be able to get internet access.

Your wifi router must have been provider with code

Hi

Thanks a lot for your help. I've managed to set up the wireless connection on my desktop PC but it seems that we need to reinstall windows on our laptop - something not right with it.

Your reply is much appreciated though.

Wireless Connection:
Start > Control Panel > network connection>

Show network connections. If there is an X on wireless connection then connection is disabling and if no X then connection is enable.

Right click on wireless network connection and click view available wireless networks.
You should see a list of available wireless networks

Then select the wireless network that you need to work on and click connect.

An icon in the lower right hand corner of your desktop should eventually appear stating that you are connected.
Then this will show you your wireless connection.

Excellent you connect to your wireless network.

Hi

Thanks for replying to my query. I have managed to set up the wireless router on my PC OK but it appears that we need to reinstall windows on our laptop as there seems to be problems there.

Thanks or your help anyway - much appreciated.

I might be back once I reinstall windows!
