To lock your wifi on a windows laptop, a simple way is to press 'Windows' button + 'L'.
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!
no you dont NEED it, but you do need a router(wifi connection) in order to use the internet on the laptop
If you have a router (connected to internet), and you get a laptop with wireless enabled you do not need anything else. You can connect your laptop to the router and have internet on your laptop.
no
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.
first you need a router and internet access, your laptop should detect the network
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 router keeps shutting off and rebooting, when you try and access WiFi, it sounds like your router is bad. Another sign the router is bad is your ability to use a wired connection without a problem.
conesct the cord to the urethra, put your nuts in the computer, simple dude
No - you use a Wifi card or USB Wifi adapter to access the router. Bluetooth operates on the same frequency as Wifi (2.4Ghz), however the transmission protocol is different and at a lower power.
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.
Any problem like this should be approached by testing step by step, so:Can other laptops connect to the router? If not then, it may be the router or the connection to the ISP.Can you connect with a network cable? If that works, then there is a problem with the WiFi - the configuration may be wrong, the connection may be too weak, it may be turned off in the laptop or the router. It may actually be broken in the laptop or router.
