How do you turn on my wireless capability on my laptop Its a VAIO PCG7134M is that helps?
There should be a switch on the side somewhere. Then there may be something about pressing the function key & the F button that has what looks like a pole on it (F8 on my Toshiba). If that doesn't work, try the troubleshooting.
Do you need a new router for a smart HDTV?
I would depend on what you currently have as a router and if you plan on using the router as a wireless access point. I would imagine if you are connecting through your smart TV's ethernet port, you shouldn't need to upgrade. If you plan on streaming video and movies I would recommend getting a dual-band wireless router.
Hope that helps.

How do I make my laptop support 5GHz connectivity?
Very simply all you need to do is purchase a USB dual-band wireless adapter. Many are made but I have found the most successful for my clients has been the TP-Link TL-WDN3200. It costs only about $25, so very inexpensive to acquire. Once you get it, just install the driver and away you go.
One bit of advice, though: make sure that you disable the integrated wireless radio in your laptop so that the only one active is the USB adapter.
If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me a line. I'm always glad to help!
Should the SSID broadcast option should be turned off at the access point?
It should be, it makes your router a little bit harder to find for people who should not use your router anyway.

I would have to check, but from a payload point of view; TCH is larger than signalling, so in a 2mbps link you can only squeeze 26 TCH, but you can fit 51 Signalling messages. (I am not sure which link/interface I am referring to).
You combine in a multiframe because your leased lines are expensive! so FDMA is needed
What does wifi hot spots mean?
Wifi hotspot is a term used when a cellular phone has the feature built into the phone. Hotspots allow a person the ability to access the internet through their phone using the hotspot feature for the connection.

After finishing the story mode, head back to the Spirit World by talking to Luna in New Domino City. Once there head upwards and duel Torunka (The little magician). When you win you'll be offered the chance to have a makeover (change face). It's random though so you might have to duel a few times for the one you want.
Wireless Mesh is terminology used to describe a wireless data network. What makes Mesh Networks so appealing is their ability to be deployed in all types of environments. Mesh Networks are commonly found supporting voice, data, and video. Municipal links commonly support video surveillence application throughout a community. The advantage of a Wireless Mesh Network is that it uses wireless switching that routes data via the path of greatest efficiency ala Ohm. A disadvantage of wireline networks is that they are vulnerable to a single point of failure. Wireless Mesh Networks are comprised of nodes that may support access points or simply data transmission. Vehicles may also act as nodes when equipped with an embedded node. Vehicles may also be used to extend a network. If a tornado takes out a node, you simply dispatch a node equipped vehicle to take its place. Also, when a node goes down, data is switched around it, keeping the network up.
The distance is about 100 for both CAT-5e and CAT-6. One of solutions is to install replicator, another one is to use coax either thinnet (175 m) or thicknet (400 m). Also you can use fiber optices (if you are going to use with long distances single mode fiber has to be used).
When would a wired network be more appropriate for home use than wireless?
A wired network would be more appropriate for home use than wireless if the user intends to use a desktop. If the purpose for the Internet connection is only to use it on the desktop or one particular place and not in any part of the house, then wired network will be better. And if there is only going to be one or two users not a number of users, wired network will be better.
