I want to have wireless internet connection on my laptop in my apartment, but I do not want to have a base PC. Is it possible to create a network where it is just my wireless laptop and the wireless router? If yes, is there any specific equipment (other than the connection itself and a modem) that I need in addition to a wireless card and wireless router?

Certainly this is possible. The only thing I would keep on hand is an extra ethernet cable for use when configuring the router. While you can get by without this, it will allow you to have a way to fix a problem that you may cause when configuring over the wireless connection. If this happens it is much easier to connect directly to the lan, fix the problem and go back wireless. Otherwise your only choice is to set both router and adpater back to factory defaults and start over.

FIRST YOU NEED IS A ROUTHER AND A MODEN AND A WIFI CONNECTION IN A LAPTOP. First connect your modens ethernet wire in the WAN in the back of the routher. Then have the other moden wires at the same place. What i mean by that is that the cable wire in the port that is connected to a phone jack of with 2 phone ports 1 for phone line other for cable then both of then on you have a wireless connecting. THE BEST ROUTHER TO GET IS LINKSYS WITH HIGH DATA NUMBER OF DATA IT CAN TRANSFER TO A WIFI.

Interested Dude is right. We have our home laptops (3 of them) networked. They all share one printer and the DSL hookup. It is much easier if you can hardwire them into set them up.
