How do I set up a wireless network in my home?
First, you must buy a wireless router, I recommend a Linksys type "n" router. After this, you install it to your computer, and if you are running XP, Vista, or 7, it will automatically install drivers. After this is complete, simply go to your wireless network screen and select "Set up a new network connection". Type in the information prompted, and your new connection should be established.
