How Do I Set Up An Internet Connection By Connecting My Laptop To My Linksys Router?

I have a hard time getting wifi on my laptop. But i have the blue linksys router that i can connect it to. How do i connect my laptop to the internet with it?|||First, make sure the "Linksys" has an internet connection (DSL, Cable, etc). That has to be done first.



Once the router is connected all computers that connect to the linksys will have internet. The Router will provide automatic local addressing and will connect all the computers that are connected to it automatically.



Wired or wireless will auto connect provided the router is properly setup and connected to the internet. If you find you have trouble using wireless connections check the wireless setup in the router first. You should have set a unique SSID (change it from "linksys") then set the security level you want to use. WPA2 should be used these days. You need to set a "good" password/passphrase for your wireless system. You can also select the channel to use. If you have issues with channel 6 (the linksys default) then try channel 1 then 11 etc until you find one that gives the best connections.|||Connect PC [wireless] to Router [wired] to Broadband Modem.
