How to Set up a wireless network on your Laptop Computer

This post provides technical support to setup wireless network on computer or laptop. How many DVD movies would you watch if you had to sit at your desk to watch them? Always take a cordless phone to a at ease spot to have a long discussion? You justify being comfortable and comfortable in your home, and too often the computer desk is the least secure place in the house.

A wireless network can make using your computer more comforting by letting you take it anywhere in your house—to your couch, your bedroom, or even your backyard. With a wireless network, you don't have to go out of your way to use the Internet, because it's everywhere in your home. You also don't have to be tied to your office to take care of other computer-related tasks—with a wireless network, you're always connected. You can search the Web for 'reseed lawn' and then, while reclining in front of the TV, print out your garden center shopping list on the printer in your home office.

Adding a wireless network to your home is easier than you think. It requires four steps:
Choose your wireless equipment.
Connect your wireless router.
Configure your wireless router.
Connect your computers and devices.

Choose your wireless equipment

The first step to setting up a wireless network is to make sure you have the equipment you need. You'll need at least two network components: a wireless router and a wireless network adapter.

If you're buying a new router, look for one with the Windows logo. This ensures that the router will work reliably in Windows XP, and if you decide to upgrade, it will work in Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well. Networking in Windows 7 has been simplified and improved. To learn more, see Windows 7 features.

How to Connect Laptop to an HDTV

Connecting your laptop to your HDTV requires little effort, but will require you to purchase a few items if you don't have them already. First, confirm that your laptop and HDTV has either an HDMI or DVI port. HDMI and DVI (HDMI specifically) will produce the best picture on your HDTV. Almost all HDTVs have at least one HDMI slot. If your laptop computer doesn't, there are plenty of cheap HDMI converters available. HDMI cables can transmit both audio and video; however, if you choose to use DVI, you will have to pick up a 3.5mm mini-headphone cable (and possibly an RCA Y-splitter adapter) to get the sound from your laptop.

Follow the steps:
  • Connect one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on your laptop or the HDMI converter connected to your laptop.
  • Connect the other end into the HDMI port on your TV. If you have multiple HDMI slots, make note of which slot you use.
  • Set your TV to the HDMI video mode that matches the number of the slot you used. For example, if you connected the laptop to HDMI slot 1, set your TV to "HDMI 1."
  • DVI
  • Connect one end of the DVI cable to the DVI slot on your laptop.
  • Connect the other end of the DVI cable to the DVI slot on your TV .
  • Connect one end of the 3.5mm mini-headphone cable into the headphone jack on your laptop.
  • Connect the other end of the 3.5mm mini-headphone cable into the mini-headphone jack port on your TV. If your TV does not have a mini-headphone jack, connect the cable into a 3.5mm headphone to RCA Y-splitter adapter.
