Tips For Going Wireless With Your Own Notebook Computer By Steve Lee In this article we are going to look at the basics of a router. How they work and what you can do to make sure it stays that way. If you have a recent model notebook computer you probably have technology built into it. If not you can get a card to install into your notebook to work in conjunction with your router.
Once you are you will know the joy of picking up your computer and walking anywhere around your house with it. Depending on your signal strength you may even be able to hang out on your patio.
Newer notebooks are Wi-Fi ready. It already has the hardware and software built into your computer. Several people in your family may be as well. It is a beautiful thing to see everyone hang out in the family room with their notebooks all able to work or play online at the same time.
You will always be able to connect using the Wi-Fi network at work or steal bandwidth from someone else. There are hotspots everywhere you go including your own neighborhood. You are better off setting up your system in a secure way to avoid your neighbor's doing this to you and then you do not do it to them either.
If you are not yet you will need a few things to convert your home network into a network.
1. You need a Broadband connection using a Cable or DSL modem. You can not have a network if you are on Dial-Up connection 2. A router to broadcast the signal 3. A computer
To set up your network turn off the power to your computers and your Broadband modem. Your computer will communicate with your router automatically when you start it up enabling you to get on the network without any confusion. The router and your notebook should not need any further configuration. The default
settings should work.
Your Internet connection should be present. The Modem will have two connections. One for the Cable or DSL modem and one for your computer.
Take the Ethernet cable that is connecting your computer to the Modem. Reconnect it to your router in the WAN connector. If all the cables are correctly placed, you should now be able to get on the Internet from your existing computers and your computers.
A router allows you to communicate to the Internet. A computer communicates to the router. When the two are working in harmony you have a great system that allows you flexibility to enjoy your notebook whenever and wherever you want.
