I have a new laptop and the guy at the store said I just needed a Wireless Router to get internet...but I hooked the Wireless Router up to the Desktop like the software said, and I can't connect to the internet on my laptop still. It says something about a switch that needs to be On, but as far as I know there are no switches on my laptop. It says a local internet connection is unplugged or something, and it's really getting me pissed off, because I've spent technically the whole day trying to figure this thing out. Help?

If you have 802.11g wireless modem built in, You have to turn on the switch on your computer. In most of case, it's small switch that move side to side. If that is not the problem, make sure you have right code from your router to computer as well.

First of all the unit you have received is a wireless router that means it connects your laptop to the router. However to connect to the internet you still need an Internet Service Provider.
If you have bought a wireless router that supports ADSL than you need an ADSL connection.

There has to be a button or a switch to turn on your wireless radio on your laptop.

She'll want some form of broadband connection and a instantaneous router, and make optimistic that the computer you purchase has a geared up-in instantaneous card. the vendor might desire to have the potential to tackle precisely what you like.
