Some netbook and laptop owners choose to create their own wireless Wi-Fi network. This eliminates cables that negate the advantages of these mobile devices over desktop computers.
It is necessary
- - network cable;
- - Wi-Fi router.
Instructions
Step 1
To create and successfully configure the above network, you need a Wi-Fi router. Choose the hardware suitable for your mobile computers. To do this, study the following parameters of Wi-Fi adapters of laptops: types of radio signal (802.11n, b or g) and security protocols (WEP, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK).
Step 2
If you do not have the manual for the laptop at hand, then open the device manager, find the wireless adapter there and write down its model. Visit the official website of the company that produces these devices. Find out the technical characteristics of this model. Purchase an appropriate Wi-Fi router.
Step 3
Install this equipment in the desired location and connect the device to AC power. Connect the cable provided to you by your ISP to the Internet (DSL, WAN) channel of the equipment.
Step 4
Connect your netbook or laptop to the Ethernet (LAN) port. Use a network cable for this connection. Turn on the Wi-Fi router and the device connected to it.
Step 5
Open the user manual for the equipment. Find in it the username, password and IP address required to access the router settings. Enter this IP into the address bar of your browser.
Step 6
The program window will display the web-based interface of the router's Wi-Fi settings. Go to Internet Setup Setting or WAN menu. Change the values of the items in this menu to communicate with the server of your provider.
Step 7
Save the settings and go to the Wireless Setup Settings menu. The settings in this menu only depend on the characteristics of your netbook or laptop. Select the desired values and save the settings.
Step 8
Reboot the equipment by clicking the Save & Exit button. If there is no such function, then disconnect the power from the Wi-Fi router for a few seconds.
Step 9
Disconnect the cable from the laptop. Search for available wireless access points. Connect your laptop to the network you recently created. Make sure you have internet access. Connect other devices to the router.
