I need some help setting up a wireless network for my parents, a subject on which i have little knowledge.
My dad has just bought a new laptop and wants to set up a wireless network in his house. He already has a desktop pc connected to the internet via BT Broadband. He wants to be able to connect wirelessly to the internet, but not be automatically connected the whole time. He went to PC and after asking the staff what he needed, he was sold a D-Link DSL-G624M Wireless 108g MIMO ASDL2/2+ Router. He has tried to set up the network following the instructions given with the router, but has had no joy.
Im not familiar with setting up a network, so i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to go about doing so for the above situation. Is the router he bought going to do the job, or does he need to change this for something else? As far as i can tell from what he has told me, he has been able to connect to the internet on the desktop pc from the router, but not via wireless on the laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
