i would like to start using my lapop wireless, ive been connecting to the internet via dsl cable modem at home courtesy of comcastcable. what should i buy to start the process i know i need a wireless reuter but is there anything else i buy and how do i connect with everything to get starter????????? help will be appreciated

all you need is a wireless router, either Netgear or linksys will do the job fine. once you get the router, plug the cable in between the cable modem, and the "internet" port on the router. after that, on you laptop, connect to the wireless network (named "NETGEAR" or "linksys"), and it should walk you through the steps to connect to your comcast internet connection. In some cases, it will work right from the start, in other cases (mainly dependent on the type of router you buy), it will walk you through a setup wizard, but it is very easy and straight forward.

u also need a wireless card in the portable, check system profiler to make sure u have one jel
