get your wireless networking pieces, install em, and go surfing where ever you like! BTW, just my two cents, but go for (g) instead of (b) someone tell me how I quoted myself instead of just editing my original post? I must still be drunk..... http://slate.msn.com/id/2084046/ [Edited 9/11/04 6:57am] | |

Check with your current cable/dsl provider before you go buy all the equipment on your own. I use RoadRunner, and for $29.95 they will hook up up to two computers wireless, that includes the router and two wireless cards. There is supposed to be an additional $4.95 per month added on to my bill for this, but they are doing a promotion right now where they waive that for a year. If you were to buy two wireless cards and a wireless router in the store, it would easily cost you over $150-$175
If your laptop doesnt have a wireless card built in, you would have to buy one to snap in the side. They run about $60. There are also wireless devices that will plug into your USB, but every one I used was a piece of shit and the connection was very slow and would frequently drop. If you want wireless, basically you need a wireless router and a wireless card for each computer you have. The modem plugs into the router, and the router sends the connection to your computer(s). | |
