Are you tired of having to be seated at your computer desk in order to surf the ‘Net? Dissapointed you can’t place your computer where you’d prefer because there’s no cable or phone outlet nearby and you don’t want to run lengthy cables? Don’t you wish you could take the ‘Net with you almost anywhere you go? It’s time to go wireless.
It’s easy to set up a wireless network for your home. All you need is a router and a wireless card or USB adapter (for those not comfortable opening up their computers to add components) and you can use your computer anywhere in and around your house. It’s fairly inexpensive to do. A decent router can be had for around 30. A wireless adapter will cost about the same. Almost all laptops in use today will have a wireless adapter already. Some PCs come with them, just check to see if yours has one already.
After verifying that your computer can connect wirelessly, just plug your high-speed Internet cable into the router. Configure your router–most Windows operating systems make this a relatively easy process–by opening up the URL in your Web browser and you’re ready to go wireless!
