Tips To Get Wireless Internet For Pc Desktop

By Milrika Ekilski

A wireless connection for your pc desktop is something everyone dreams of. We all find it very convenient to have one. No more worry about the wired network, or having to check the length of the wire if you plan to move your pc to another place. To be sincere you can set up a wireless network effortlessly and quickly. This article will show you some tips on how to do so.

The first and also fundamental step is to find whether there is wireless internet where your computer is located. If you are lucky to be located near a Wifi Hotspot, for instance a coffee shop, you can utilize this network to get wireless connection for your desktop. If you are a student living in the dorm, you will be able to connect to the wireless network the college has already set up. And if you live in an apartment, there may be a network available and you can use it for free. If you are not in those cases and live in a separate house, you may check to see whether your neighbors have wireless internet, and ask if you can use it.

The second step is to buy a wireless network adapter. There are many types of wireless adapter available on the market, but I recommend you use famous brands like Linksys or Dlink for best connectivity. You should check and compare the price. Stores like Best Buy or Wal-Mart always have good brand names with a reasonable price.

There is another thing you have to take into account when you buy the adapter. It is the distance between your pc and the network router. There is one type of adapter that allows you to use the USB port to connect. This is very convenient, so you should consider this option.

Now it is time to set up the connection using the instruction manual which came with the adapter. This is a very easy step. After having set up your adapter, you may check the stability of the network and if everything works fine, you can begin surfing the net.

If there is no wireless network already in your area, you will need to buy a wireless network router. There are two ways you can purchase one: online or in store. Again, make sure to check the price before making your decision. Online stores such as Amazon always have the best brand names at the cheapest price (in compared with price of the same brand name on the market). Having bought the router, you will need to set it up according to the instructions and your internet service provider. This is the best choice if you have many computers in your home.
