I Have Just Installed A Speedtouch Wireless Router Model 576

This Is Attached To My Main Home Pc

But How Do I Get Wireless On My Two Laptops Accessing This Router?

One Of My Laptops Is A Built In Wireless Whilst Other Is Not

But I Just Cannot Get Connected

Can Any One Help

Yes, your built in wireless is easy. Turn the wireless function on and it should pick up your network (and may be a couple of your neighbours) click onto your network and it will ask for a password which will be what ever you put in when you set up the modem.

For the other laptop you will need a card they cost about £25 and slide into the side of the computer. Once the card is in place and you have installed the software follow the same steps above.

Loads of 802.11G wireless cards on Ebay from about a tenner.

Check the sticky on this forum for security settings.

To check that your laptop is actually "seeing" the wireless network try downloading Net Stumbler.

Quite often the wireless key is on a sticker underneath the router
