We just bought our daughter a laptop. We set it up but have no internet connectivity. How can we get her connected and do we need to buy anything that will get it running? We have a home computer. Could we connect it to that one? If so, How?

Most cable companies do not provide modems with built in WiFi. You will need to purchase a WiFi Router or plug the ethernet cable directly into the modem.
