how can i get wireless internet for my computer?

Answer 1

Contact any ISP(internet service provider ) that provides wireless internet service and you are there.

Answer 2

There are two kinds of "wireless internet" for your laptop. The most common is to share your home broadband connection with your laptop by installing a wireless router in your house. This is what most everyone uses. This means, however, that you need to be near your house, or another open network, to use the internet. Think of it as what cordless phones did for telephones in your house. This will not require a monthly fee, as long as you already have a broadband connection.

The second way is to get a card from your cell company that sticks in the side of your laptop. This will provide you with "wireless internet" anywhere you get phone service. This is like what cellphones did to the telephone. This will require a monthly fee of about 50 bucks a month.

Answer 3

I recently got a wireless router for my computer from the Linksys company. Neither my husband or I could understand the tech support people who were from the Philippines. But Bellsouth/ATT (my Internet company, they also sell routers) had tech support people that spoke very well and helped me allot more then the Linksys people did. It finally turned out that the router had compatibility problems and I finally just returned it. Next time my router comes from Bellsouth/ATT even if it doesn't work right at least I understood the tech support.

First of all you have to have a wireless internet card in your computer to be able to have access to wireless internet. Once you get that, all that is left is subscribing to wireless internet service. A note to remember, I had wireless service on my home computer and my neighbor accross the street was trying to get on wireless as well as his brother a couple blocks away had it and he was trying to get on his network. Well obviously I was closer so the only network he got on was mine and he was able to print a message to me on my printer. When the brother helping him showed up at my house asking me to reterive the message he wrote to me and printed on my computer I freaked out. I had 3 security programs running and thought that I was secure. Come to find out while talking to them that they could of accessed my desktop if they wanted to. My "Security" didn't stop them for doing what they wanted. So while wireless is nice, it can be dangerous as well. Needless to say I no longer use wireless internet on ANY of my computers. So good Luck!
