Answer 3

Either buy a computer with wifi connection or buy a wireless capable component to add to your existing computer.

This will allow your computer to receive wifi signals. Half the battle.

In order to receive a wifi signal the wifi signal must be transmitted from somewhere.

Many places such as coffeeshops or trainstations have wifi transmitters but to receive it in your home you will need a wireless router (aka a wireless hub).

Usually you can plug the cable that provides your internet into the back of the wireless router (check before you buy) and after a bit of setup your computer will be able to receive the wifi signal.

Answer 4

First, you need an active internet connection from an internet provider. Then, you will need to (unless the ISP provided one for you) a wireless router from your favorite department or electronics store.

Answer 5

You need to have two things. First you need a modem that provides the internet. Usually this is DSL or a cable modem. The second thing you need is a wireless router which are made by many companies with Linksys being the most prominent. One other thing is two ethernet cables.
