How to connect a new computer to wireless internet?

Option 1: First, you'll have to find out who your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is. I use Verizon DSL.

-Then, if the company sent you a router, you need to look on the back for a listing of the WEP, or secure connection password (If you don't have a WEP, this will be addressed further on.

-When you find the WEP, then each of your computers needs to have a Wireless Card Adapter OR a Buffalo Air-station (or similar product). This is very, very important. It is impossible to have a wireless connection without a wireless adapter.

-When you have prepared all of your computers and have the WEP memorized or written down, then continue to the next step.

-Assuming you're using Windows (Vista instructions are probably similar, but these are for XP), go to:

-Start > My Network Places > "Set up a wireless network...."
(Should be on the left side menu), and then follow the instructions.

-IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WEP, then the most common alternative password you can use is "admin" without quotes.

-IF "My Network Places" isn't listed on your start menu, then follow these instructions: Right click the start menu and select "Properties" > Click "Customize" > Advanced Tab > Make sure the "My Network Places" box is ticked/checked > Select OK > Apply > OK and then re-open the start menu and you will have the icon listed.
