I am new to this I don't know for sure what I need to do like am I missing something, do I need to buy something else..to get internet... can someone please just tell me step by step what I need to do, what I need to buy..like do I need just a router or something else as well.. should I return this one..?? Please help me out. -Thanks a bunch:) |

That laptop has build-in wireless capability, you don't need the USB adapter.

Re: Help!! How do I get internet on my laptop!
Really? Then why won't it work when I install my router?
Is that all I need tho is just a router..? Maybe you can rec. a better one then..cuz this isn't working for me.. maybe a linksys one..that's easy to set up too.. Last edited by xpezxcandix; 11-25-2008 at 06:35 PM. |

Well, you have to also configure the wireless router and then search for and connect to wireless networks.
