Get a wireless adapter for the computer you wish to connect. Install the device drivers and connect the adapter. You will need to know which wireless network is your, so check the settings on the 2-wire to see what its SSID is. After that, set up a WEP or WPA key and disable SSID broadcast. Go back to your wireless adapter, access its properties, enter the WEP/WPA key, type in the SSID, and connect. You should be able to get that connection running smoothly in about 15 minutes if all goes well.

Yes. You would connect the LAN PC to the wireless adapter then connect the wireless adapter to the modem and lastly connect your telephone or dsl to the modem output. By setting up SSID, MAC, Wep, Wap, etc. per mfg for your wireless adapter and PC, you should be on line. Remember that you have to set up your wireless PC with all the necessary codes and data so they will recognize each other and function properly. There are instructions on line as well as in the manuals you received with your devices.
