For a small two story home I think you would be alright with most Linksys wireless routers. For basic home use, a good model is the Cisco Linksys E1200 that runs around $60.

Access the router's setup page.Go to Wireless Settings tab.Under Wireless Settings tab, go to Basic Wireless settings.Take note of the ff: -wireless mode -ssid -wireless channel -ssid broadcast (make sure it is always enable) After that, go to Wireless Security subtab. Now, take note of the ff: -Security mode (whether it is wep or wpa) Now if it the security mode is WEP, take note of the ff: -default transmit key -wep encryption -passphrase (if there is a passphrase, that means you use to generate keys) -key 1 If it on WPA, take note of the ff: -WPA algorithm -WPA shared key If you have already have the wireless settings, match these wireless settings to your linksys card or adapter.there are many ways on how to connect or associate the LInksys card. you can connect it using wireless zero configuration or wlan monitor.I'll tell you how to connect using wlan monitor.

Where can you get an inexpensive router to have internet on your laptop?

Belkin and Linksys make inexpensive routers for residential or small network use. You can pick them up at office or computer supply houses like Staples, Office Depot, Circuit City and others. For laptop use, your best bet would probably be to get a wireless router and a wireless network card for the laptop. This would allow you to use the laptop throughout your house or office without an ethernet cable.


To connect two PC using wifi?

If your connecting PC's its normally recommended that you use a wired connection. Most PC's dont have built-in wireless capabilities. However to do this you will need to buy a wireless router, a Linksys WRT54G are generally good and then for each PC you will need to buy a wireless card. You have 2 options here. Internal or External. If you get an interal one then you dont have to worry about loosing it later on down the road and you dont have to worry about loosing a USB slot. But if you take Internal then you cant swap it easliy from PC to PC. If your going for Internal, I find D-Link make some good cards. If your going External, Linksys have a small Wirless USB Dongle - get that. So now, you should have a router and 2 wireless cards/dongles for your PC's. The first step is to program your router. This only takes two minutes and as far as I can remember detailed instructions are supplied. Next install the 2 cards along with drivers, or one for each PC. Then do a search for wireless networks and you should be picking up your router. All in all, your looking at about 30 mins and its a straight forward process too, nothing too painful.

If you have wired broadband and you want to get your PS3 online without wires would getting a wireless router solve this problem?

Yes it would. But you may want to do a small bit of homework and see which ones are recommended. For computers and laptops I would recommend a linksys wrt54g but perhaps for a playstation you might want something a little different, Im not sure. Like I said you will need to do a bit research. Try youtube, I find alot of people post tutorials for problems like this. The problems that the different choices of WiFi routers for the PS3 are greatly reduced because most people purchase a better router than the WiFi G the PS3 uses. After purchasing a Wireless N linksys router I did chose to switch to an ethernet cable for the better wired connection. They have plugs on the back and I still would have needed a router and now I have one if I get a PSP or Laptop. I did notice that they are an item you should never pay full retail and many are greatly discounted like old PS3 games

What is awireless router?

A wireless router is a device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination. A wireless router works in the same way as the router in a hard-wired home or business local area network (LAN), but allows greater mobility for notebook or portable computers. The individual computers are equipped with small wireless transceivers that can be plugged into either a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port or a PC Card slot.
