Edward -
This is great, can I ask some more?
So, I use an ethernet cable to connect the pc to a router,, and the router
has a wireless slider switch which pushes to the right after the ethernet
cable is disconnected right? I'm wondering where is the modem? Are these
netgear things both routers and modems in one these days? If not, and I need
a separate modem, then how does it connect to the router, and does it also
have to be plugged in to the phone socket when setting up the wireless
connection in the first place.
I really apreciated your clear explanation in your first email, it's the
kind of detail description that really helps me -
Andy

| Hi Andy,
|
| You'll need to buy a wireless router. I have a Netgear which works well.
| However, be sure it is wireless (the shop sold me the wrong router at
first,
| even though I bought it with the laptop and explained exactly what I
| wanted)!
|
| You will receive a cd with the necessary software to install.
|
| In order to set up the network, you have to use the Ethernet cable to
| connect the router to the computer. You will also need to log into a
| webpage to set up your router, don't worry, you won't need to be on the
| internet.
|
| I think the installation wizard will take you directly to that page once
| you've gone through the installation process, but if not the address will
be
| something like www.routerlogin.net
|
| The username is normally something like admin, the password might be
either
| admin or password.
|
| The actual setup should be fairly straightforward, I would recommend
| enabling security when asked, which means you will be required to choose a
| pass phrase.
|
| When you've set up the router, unplug the Ethernet cable from your PC. If
| your wireless switch is pushed to the right, the computer should detect
the
| new network. You'll be required to enter the pass phrase you just chose
and
| you should be away.
|
| Hope this helps,
|
| Edward
