A few questions about wireless internet?

Question

Okay here are a few questions about wireless internet that I need to know;

1. Can you buy a wireless box thing i think its called a router? And hook it up to a computer and use wireless connection?

2. Can you buy a linksys box (router?) and hook it up to your laptop and make it stronger?

3. Do you have to pay for the box (router?) every month or so?

4. I can use linksys on my laptop, but it is not very reliable because I move around the house, and I usually loose the signal, will that box (router) make the signal stronger and Ican pick it up any where?

5. is the box only for DSL? because there is no DSL provider in my town.

Thank you!

The Linksys router can be used with either DSL or Cable. You buy the router and own it - no monthly bills. Just read the manual and you will learn a lot. You can also go to the manufacturer's web site.

Answer 4

The router connects to your High speed connection ether cable or DSL, the router transmits a signal that is received by a WiFi card in a laptop or desktop computer.

Answer 5

wireless internet service should provide you with a "wireless modem." to connect your computer to this, you need a standard ethernet cable and network card.

you could conceivably instead connect the wireless modem to a wireless router in your home.
