A compatible network card and proper cables.
To get "wireless" access from a cable modem, you will need a wireless router in addition to the cable modem. Wireless routers are made by Linksys, and a number of other vendors. Start: 1. Plug the coax cable from the wall into your modem. (this is the "live" internet connection now powering your modem. The modem is now "live") 2. Run the ethernet cable from your modem into your wireless router. (this router is now "live") 3. Run the ethernet cable from the wireless router into your PC. (the PC is now "live") You are basically looping the modem into the router, and the router to your PC, instead of going directly from the modem into the PC. The benefit of looping the wireless router in between the Modem and the PC is so that the wireless router can get a live internet signal and broadcast a "wireless" signal to your home and surrounding 100 foot area. The reason you loop the ethernet cable from the wireless router (in step #2) back into your PC is so that the PC can get the internet connection. Most PC's don't have a wireless "receiver" to receive the wireless signal, and require a direct input from an ethernet cable. Most laptops have wireless ("receivers" aka: modems) and can receive the signal from the wireless router (which is now actively receiving and broadcasting the signal) which we connected in step #2. The concept is very similar to your home telephone with a wireless handset. The phone line runs into the base station, and you can walk around your home with a wireless phone. This is the same with your laptop, and the wireless router is just like the base station of your phone.
You will need a wireless router and a wireless adapter to have wireless pc to pc connection
You'll need a built in antenna to recieve the signal. That's it for laptops, PDA's and other mobile computer devices. Regular PC's need a modem, and router.
A laptop is a PC. You don't need a desktop PC to configure a router, you can use a laptop to do so, by connecting to the router via a network adaptater - either via wifi or ethernet. Both ways of connecting are included on laptops nowadays.
One uses the airwaves, a wireless router sends a signal. The other needs a cable from the router plunged into a port on the PC.

Yes, a modem connected via an Ethernet cable can provide internet access to a wireless PC, but it typically needs to be connected to a router first. The modem connects to the router through the Ethernet cable, and the router then broadcasts a wireless signal that the PC can connect to. If the modem has built-in routing capabilities, it can directly support wireless connections without a separate router.
You would of course need an internet connection from a dsl or cable modem. If you have a laptop, you will need either a built in wireless connection or purchase a wireless card or usb device to pick up the router. If you have a desktop PC you will need to buy a wireless pci adapter or a wireless usb device to connect.
i have a pc i would like to dissconnect from my router how do i do that because i don't have access to that pc
It only costs about $50 unless you need to buy the WI-Fi card for the PC.
No, the PSP connects wirelessly to your wireless router.
First you must have an internet service provider and it then depends on what equipment they have provided. An ethernet cable will connect to a modem or a router and go to the device for a wired connection. I used a Cat 6 ethernet cable and a router to split the signal from my first cable modem to a router and then from my PS3 and PC connected 2 more ethernet cables to the back of the router. Later Comcast sent a gateway modem and that already had WiFi and more than one spot to plug in the ethernet cables and I put my router away
