How do i set up a wireless internet connection?
There are three key parts to a wireless internet connection: 1. A modem. This is the device that will connect to your ISP (or Internet Service Provider — the people who you are paying to serve you with internet connectivity). High speed internet modems can be DSL (using a phone line), Cable (using a coaxial connection to your television provider), Satellite (using a coaxial connection to your Satellite Internet dish), or Wireless (connecting over-air to a provider such as Clearwire). 2. A router. This is the device that your computers will use to connect, wirelessly, with each other and with the modem. You will want to set this up with some sort of security; the most commonly used is a WEP key, which is just a 32 (or more) character code that your router knows, and you tell your computers to use, to connect — so that unauthorized users can’t connect to your network. 3. A wireless network card or device.

If you want to wire any of your desktops in this network, then you need a simple router else we don’t need it at all. Si
