I don't think there is a fixed limit; but some restrictions must be considered.

First, all computers will share the same air space, only one can transmit at a time. So, the more computers you connect, the slower will the network connection get for any individual computer (assuming all want to transmit at the same time).

Second, there is the distance limitation. The exact distance varies, depending on the network type chosen, and other factors; but basically you can't get arbitrarily far from the router.

First you need to sign up to a broadband service and get a wireless router (most providers will supply this free) or you can buy one from most electrical stores. Once you have one install the software onto your computer and you are up and running. You just need to follow the onscreen instructions. Note: your computer needs to be wireless enabled.

I have dell laptop which is not blue tooth enabled what components do i need to surf anywhere in my home wirless understanding i dont have a desktop if i get broadband?

First of all, you need to buy your laptop a wireless internet card. any will do.. as long as it's made for laptops.. Once you do that, you need to get a broadband connection.. if the broadband connection you get already comes with a modem wich casts a wireless signal, you're good to go, all you would need to do is install the wireless card in you pc. If your broadband modem does not cast a wireless signal THEN you would need to buy a router wich casts a wireless signal and connect the router to your broadband modem. And that's it


Do you have to use both a modem and a router together?

A cable internet customer can use just a modem if they are connecting a single device to the Internet, such as a desktop computer. Many customers now have a plurality of devices they would like to connect to the Internet at once, such as video game consoles, televisions, media centers, laptops, tablets, computers, and phones. In this case, a device that operates as a router is necessary. The modem provides connectivity for a single device to the Internet, while the router provides a network to many devices in the same area; the combination of the two allows many devices to access the Internet at the same time. Cable operators may now provide a single device that operates as a modem and a router, in which case, only one device is necessary, since it fulfills both roles at once. Technically, the customer still has a modem and a router, but it is housed in a single device, reducing power usage and providing a smaller footprint.
