Wireless with one laptop

What seems to be the problem? Please be as specific as possible, otherwise it's hard to help you with troubleshooting.

 

Please be more specific. Like what kind of equipments you have (routers, modem, etc), does your laptop has wireless card or adapter, etc

 

DSL service is wired. You need a DSL modem with a wireless access point included or a separate router with both wireless and wired network ports. You need a wired connection on your laptop to initially setup the access point.

 

Lately Linksys has been including a CD that would walk you through all the steps in a wizard-like fashion, that would be the easiest. If you don't have it, follow these steps:

1. Locate the manual for the router in case you need to look something specific up, available on the Linksys website
2. Connect the laptop to the router with a network cable
3. Find out the IP address assigned to your computer (procedure depends on your OS)
4. Substitute the last number in the IP address with 1 (192.168.1.100 -> 192.168.1.1)
5. Point the browser to http://ipaddress
6. Login and follow the setup screens to configure Wireless Access

 

To get a wireless connection, need the following equipments: Cable/DSL modem, wireless router, and wifi/wireless card or adapter on your laptop. You definately got the modem from AT&T, but do you know if you have a wireless or wired router? Also, your laptop must have wifi capability. Usually, older laptops (around 5 years or older) doesn't comes with wifi or wireless card. But most laptop nowaday have builtin wifi. If you don't know if you have wifi or not, try and see if it does by going on your laptop: Start>Control Panel>Network Connections. Once you confirm all your equipment, you can set up your router via 192.168.1.1
