I bought a 108 MBPS Wireless router, what do I do next to get internet?

Question

I want it to download music and for regular internet use, what kind of connection do I get?


I am going to use the router for my laptop, can you also tell me if I should get a 108 MBPS Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter or a 108 MBPS Wireless PC card in order to connect to the router wirelessly, or will the built in WI-FI connecter in the laptop do?



Idk anything about this stuff, help me out.

thnx

Answer 1

First, you need to subscribe to a broadband service, like DSL or Cable. They will send you a Broadband Modem.

You will connect the broadband modem to the wireless router. Then turn on the wireless in your laptop and connect.

The built in wireless card will work just fine, but not at 108Mb/s. That will only work if you purchase the card that is designes to work with the router at 108Mb/s.

Answer 2

LOL.. Most broadband internet connections are 1.5mb or less, really fast, expensive ones are around 3-5mb. So it doesn't matter if you've got a Gigabyte switch, when you access the Internet, you're limited by the speed of that connection. So no, you don't need 108mbps for the Internet. Where that might come in handy is copying large files between computers on your home network (Like video and high-resolution photos). For 99% of stuff most people do, 54mbps on their local network is fine, and its over 32x faster than their Internet connection. Of course that's 108mbps under the best circumstances- often your actual speed will be lower. For the consistently fastest network connection, just plug in a CAT5 cable and get 100mbps all the time, with no interference or worries about signal strength.
