First obtain an Ethernet Cord. Plug the cord into your laptop in the Ethernet Connector. The head of the cord should click when you insert it in. Next find the same port on your WIFI router. You are now connected to the World Wide Web.
No. A WiFi Router is not needed to use a WiFi USB adapter. You just need the internet and a compatible PC/Laptop like Windows XP / Vista. Just plug the USB in while you have the internet running and you are on WiFi.
If your laptop doesn't have Wifi included you can buy a USB Wifi adapter at any computer store. The adapter is the size of a standard USB memory stick, with the exception that it has a 802.11 chip and antenna in it. The setup is pretty simple. Simply install the driver that's included onto your laptop, plug in your adapter and your should be ready to connect! :-)
I set up my obsolete laptop as a temporary wifi hotspot. If that is what you are asking, then yes.
Adding detail to my question... I have a laptop that has full wifi, and another with no wifi, and it cannot use an adapter... Is there any way I can connect wirelessly to a spare router I have, as well as my internet enabled router (I have a USB WiFi adapter I could use to make 2 connections), and then connect the laptop with no wifi to the spare router via ethernet to get internet? The laptop with wifi is windows 8, and the other is fedora 19. Thanks!
Use a device like the new Cerevo Contour Liveshell. It plugs into your camcorder then you plug an Ethernet cable into the device or use the WIFI adapter to connect the wifi network like a wifi mobile hot spot. Find more below.
To connect to the internet via wifi you will need: A wifi enabled laptop/pc OR a wifi card/adapter. A wifi router/network with the internet connection connected to it. As long as your router is set-up correctly and your laptop is fairly new you shouldn't have any trouble connecting to the internet.
You have to order Wi-Fi, I think its a plug. It usually comes with the laptop.
Sadly, no. Although commonplace now, this laptop is a little too old. You can always buy a cheap USB WiFi adapter.
WiFi usb adapter is a WiFi card.
Yes, you will definitely get a much better internet signal if you have a USB Ethernet adapter for your laptop in a Wifi area. It would help very much.
The Playstsation 3 comes with built in WiFi so there is no need to have a usb wireless adapter in order to get online.
If the WiFi device is a PCI card, then it should be inserted into a PCI slot inside of a desktop computer. If the WiFi device is a PCMCIA card, then it should be inserted into a PCMCIA slot located on the side of a laptop. Finally, if the WiFi device is a USB adapter, then it should be inserted into a USB port on either a desktop or laptop computer.
