    Default how do i set up a wireless connection?

    Can anyone help me set up a wireless router/internet connection?
    since i moved i have been connecting in my laundry room directly to the comcast modem, it's pretty pathetic, lol.
    i now have a wireless router, but i have no clue how to get it set up/get my computer to connect through the router?
    can someone point me in the right direction or give me a website that can tell me how to do this?
    thanks!

    Turn off your computer and the cable modem. You connect the cable modem to the wireless router, using either an ethernet cable (straight, not crossover) or an USB-2 cable. Then you fire up your cable modem first, then your router, then your computer with its wireless card.
    On your computer insert the CD that came with your router and follow instructions during its setup. They usually give you a 'wizard' program to set up at least the essential default settings. Make sure you set up a non-trivial, easy-to-remember password for your network.

    Normally you have to have some patience with the initial connection between the wireless router and your wireless NIC card on setup or on changing the network you set up. After that it's pretty fast and almost transparent to you.

    You may have to call in for support, which will take a lot of patience, as sometimes all this doesn't work as intended. But once you set it up initially, all should go well.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    This might be totally obvious... but make sure the wireless on your laptop (??) is enabled and functional

    As it really may have been obvious I won't go into it. But having dealt with 'stupid fucking wireless' before, I can if it might possibly be helpful
