Assuming that you are using a DSL connection:

Connect the cable from the DSL modem to the input port on the router.
Connect an ethernet cable from one of the output ports on the router to the
ethernet port on your desktop. The router manual should show which is
which, and the manual for your desktop show show the location of the
ethernet port.

The router manual should tell you how to access the router. These days, a
setup CD comes with the router, and you should use it. The software on the
CD should setup both desktop and router. During the setup, you may be
asked if you want to make a disk to setup other computers. If so, answer
yes. Also, during the router setup, you will be asked about Wireless
security. Select WPA, and make a careful note of the key.

Now, logon to the laptop. If you made the above disk, then insert it in
the correct slot in the laptop and allow it to do a lot of the work After
the disk completes its tasks, execute the Wireless Network Setup Wizard to
finish the job. You will be asked for the wireless key, and enter it
carefully and correctly. The two pieces of hardware will not connect if the
keys do not match. The router will display the key after the setup is done.

The best suggestion I can make is to read the manuals very carefully before
starting this task.

Hi.
First does your Laptop came with a Wireless capability (i.e have wireless
built-in) or you will have a USB wireless installed?.
You need to Connect the Telephone cable then the Power cable to the router
and then the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports and then Power Up the
Router and then the Laptop, do not connect both PC and Laptop at once just
the Laptop then you can Add the PC after that.
Then start the Set up wizard by inserting your Router CD installation.
These step the same as the one will be mentioned later on setup.

By typing the IP: 192.168.0.1 click [ok] or Hit Enter;
You will get Login into the router:
Before you can change any settings, you need to log in with a password. if

Just wait a second, do you want to add the Laptop to the wireless Router?.
And you already have the router setup on the other PC, is that right?
Then try this on the Laptop:
Double click the two monitor on the notification area and on the Network
connections Right click and select Properties, then click on General tab.
Highlight the Internet Protocol TCP/IP and click Properties and be sure
that the Laptop getting the Auto IP address.
Click OK to close the TCP/IP window and back to the Wireless Network
connection properties window, click on Wireless Network Tab and be sure these
Input boxes filled in with the Right Info like:
[ ] Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings check this box
if you don't have an utility to manage your wireless connection.

Preferred networks:

LadyWireless (say 4 Exmp)

If there are any other Wireless networks there remove them and select your
Wireless (SSID) name and click Properties.
On LadyWireless Properties Fill or be sure these Input Text boxes are
filled with the correct details which you set on your Router:
Network name: [ LadyWireless ]

¬Wireless network Key--------------
Network Authentication : [ Open /Shared/WPA/WPA-PSK ][v]
Data encryption : [ WEP/WPA/Disabled ][v]

Network key : [ Type the Key been set on the router/Hub ]
Confirm network Key: [ Retype the key ]

Click OK when Finished and close the Wireless Connections Window and Reboot
your machine and see if that get you solid/consistent Signal on your Laptop.

Bear in mind the Built-In Wireless not that powerful if you have the
Wireless Router
behind obstacles such as Solid Concrete walls and in a hidden cabin/cupboard
or far away from the Wireless access point/Wireless Router.
So to be sure of that take your laptop near from AP and try there and see if
you will get strong signal.

You may have a busy neighboring hood with lots of wireless so try to change
your Wireless channel from the famous (11) to something like 4 or 5 or 6 and
see if that will ease the congestion on your signal.
Hope I understood you correctly.

nass

Hi
First set the Router and the Kids computer and make sure that it can use the
Internet through the Router.
Then configure the Router's Wireless part manually using the Kid's computer.
Next configure the Wireless manually on the laptop (you probably do not need
to use the CD). If you get a Firewall message disable temporarily WinXP
Firewall.
