You will need to get a wireless router. Connect it to your DSL/Cable modem via ethernet. Some routers come with the wireless functionality and the WEP or WPA security features already enabled right out of the box. Check your user guide to see if they are. If they are, your computers wireless card should detect the signal, you should see it when you click on the wireless networks icon in the system tray. Then choose veiw wireless networks, and it should be listed by the manufacturer of your particular unit. Highlight it and click connect. If the security is enabled by default, it will prompt you for a security key. Enter the security key, it should have been provided with your documentation. If your unit does not have either the wireless functionality or security enabled, you will have to configure it manually. Most wireless routers have a web interface that you can access by typing the LAN IP address of the router into you internet explorer address bar. Most use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 This should get you into the routers interface. Most have a link here for wireless settings. See your user guide. Enable the wireless , and I would also recommend enabling the security. That way you arent being the local wireless "hotspot" for everyone in your neighborhood. When you enable the security you will have to create a security key that only you will know. Then save the settings. Now your wireless card should see the signal coming from the router. Try to connect the same way, and when it prompts you for the security key, you will use the one you created in the web interface, and other users cannot piggyback off your wireless broadband connection. hope this helps

Answer 3

Here is the concept/theory:

You get a wireless router, to which you have the cable/dsl plugged in.

You desktop or laptop PCs have to have a wireless card installed in each one of them.

The wireless cards see the network and notify you that there a/some wireless network(s) are available.

You connect to the network either unsecure/open or secure but in that case you setup security in both the router and the cards.

Hope this helps a little.

you won't be able to. NO router has a USB connection. they want a under pressure connection to a subscribed broadband line provider. And a USB on the spot card desires courses loaded on a working laptop or computing device in the previous it could run.
