Need help with wireless connection

Kirsty262

I have ntl broadband (stand alone broadband so no phone line) on my pc and have just purchased a laptop which is wireless enabled

Bought the Belkin 5G router and can't get it to work

I am trying to connect it through the laptop (is this correct)? I cannot connnect it through my PC as I do not have an ethernet connection

I am pulling my hair out

anyone know what do to?

Thanks

Scratch that, it's rubbish.

No, you'll need to buy a PCI network card for your PC, for example http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/cat/Wired/subcat/Network-Adapters. Then the connections are:

NTL cable modem or Set-Top Box <--Ethernet cable--> [WAN port] Belkin wireless router [LAN port] <--Ethernet cable--> Desktop PC.

Also make sure that wireless is enabled on your laptop. Press Fn + F2 keys to enable/disable it.

if I was to buy that is it easy for me to install?

Yes, it is fairly easy to install.

See How to install a PCI card.

is that the only way I can do it? Can I not connect it using the USB which I am presently using on my PC to my modem

I have no idea what I am doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does the router have a USB port? If not you'll need to use the Ethernet network ports.
