My dad just got a laptop and Im trying to help him connect, we got the wireless router working and he's connected to the router but he's not getting internet, does he have to pay for a seperate internet service on his laptop?If theres a way to get the internet through the router it's not working for us because I went to control panel systems and maintenence and 'connect to the internet' and followed the steps... what could I be doing wrong? please helpCan I use a router to get access to internet through my laptop?
Do you have WEP enabled on your router? You'll have to enter the key on the laptop if you do.Can I use a router to get access to internet through my laptop?
yeah I entered the key, i connected the laptop to the router, but he still doesn't have connectivity to the internet
When you conect to the router can you get to its setup screen? it should give you its address on the side of the router itself aong with its username and password. You then would normally type this address into your web-browser and should then ask for user name and password (depending on the make probally admin %26 password) from there you will have to enter your ISP details so it can conect. Im not sure about others but I know most Netgear routers have a setup wizard that helps you set it up.You will need to have already signed up an ADSL account if you have not already got one through one of the many providers before the above will work or a cable network company...other wise it wont conect also I would recommend using WPA2 wireless security over wep
