network help: how to establish a wireless network? - Help.com

First you need a router, and a network card, I recommend d-link they are good a cheep, what ever you do not I can not stress this enough by lynics. They suck, first one me and my friend bought. D-link is good, then put in the cd, and go through the steps. Have them anywhere best buy to wall-mart. If have a questions more just ask who you bought it from, of do to the product web site. Take about 15 min to fully set up. also you might want to password protect it, this I do not know how do, I may come in the router package, it may not, and when you by the router make sure it can more then cover you range, rain, snow with dampen the signal, like if you got a dish for TV. and no you do not have to get the same brand for the card and the router, any can connect to any, but make sure they are for a,b,c,d because a will only work with a and so on. But that about all there is to it, but make sure you ask because you prob be paying about 125-150 so make sure you get everything you need, returns are a pain in the ass.
