If you plan to share Internet access with multiple computers by using a home network, you may also need a router. (Sometimes a modem and router are combined in one device.) Using a wireless connection After you have an ISP and you've connected your hardware by following the ISP's instructions, you might already be connected to the Internet.

If Something Goes Wrong
Connecting to the Internet
❖
If you have enabled any security provisions (closed
system, MAC address filtering, Wired Equivalent Privacy
[WEP], etc.), check the access point vendor's Web site
for recent firmware upgrades. Problems with WEP keys,
in particular, are frequently addressed in new firmware
releases.
Connecting to the Internet
To connect to the Internet, you'll need an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) and additional hardware.
❖
ISP:
An ISP is a company that gives you access to the
Internet. You sign up for an account with an ISP just as
you do for telephone service or utilities. ISPs are usually
phone companies (for a DSL or fiber optic connection) or
TV providers (for a cable or satellite connection).
❖
Hardware:
For a broadband connection, such as DSL,
fiber optic, or cable, you may need a broadband
modem. This might be included as part of the start-up
hardware from your ISP when you sign up for a
broadband account or you might need to rent or
purchase a modem separately. If you plan to share
Internet access with multiple computers by using a
home network, you may also need a router. (Sometimes
a modem and router are combined in one device.)
Using a wireless connection
After you have an ISP and you've connected your hardware
by following the ISP's instructions, you might already be
connected to the Internet. To find out, open your Web
browser and try visiting a Web site. If the Web site doesn't
appear, try connecting to a network.
Click or touch the
Network
(
) icon on the taskbar. Click or
touch the network you wish to connect to, and then click or
touch
Connect
