I need an answer that tells me exactly what to do to connect my dell laptop to my wireless router. The laptop came with a wireless card and I have no idea what kind of connection it uses. Please answer specifically.

Well, if your labtop detected and installed the correct drivers for your wireless card, then it should be no problem.
Turn on the wireless router and make sure that there is an internet connection working on it - it should be a DSL connection - and go to the Control Panel you should find Wireless Network Setup Wizard. This applies to Windows XP Service Pack2.
Incase if you don't have SP2, then go to network connections and start the wizard as creating a home network and it should detect it correctly.
Wish you a Good Luck there.

Your Wireless Router should be with default settings. No wireless encryption is a must.
After Adapter is installed, go to start> control panel> network connections (or network and internet connection> network connections) and double click Wireless Network Connection. Select your connection and connect to it.

Your Dell ought to have a Dell prompt 1450 DualBand (802.eleven a/b/g) inner prompt card. you're able to desire to income if it extremely is modern-day and dealing top. try this for the time of device supervisor. If it extremely is modern-day yet no longer working then delete it in device supervisor and restart the pc. it would then be detected and re-put in whilst the pc restarts. If the cardboard isn't exhibiting in device supervisor then the least difficult selection could be a USB prompt adaptor. those do no longer value lots. If the cardboard is exhibiting as modern-day and dealing then your issue is with the router setup. you will might desire to repair it once you're related via an ethernet cable. flow to prompt settings and confirm the SPID isn't set to be hidden. regardless of if that's then your pc won't locate the router. ensure you be attentive to the prompt community call and password. you will need that to connect.
