you take out the ethernet lead from your pc and conect it to wireless router you have to insert a wireless card to pc DRAFT N 300M PCI CARD WIRELESS WIFI LAN NETWORK ADAPTOR on eBay, also Wireless WiFi, PCMCIA Cards, Laptop Accessories, Computing (end time 11-Sep-08 07:32:51 BST)

if your laptop isnt already wireless then you need to buy a card for that and insert LINKSYS WIRELESS-G MIMO WIFI PCMCIA LAPTOP CARD SRX UK on eBay, also Wireless WiFi, PCMCIA Cards, Laptop Accessories, Computing (end time 11-Sep-08 00:10:30 BST)

then run the setup disk that comes with router
