Regarding laptop's internet connection

limpper SG

i'm buying a laptop next week, so can i ask what must i do to enable my hse to have the internet connection for that laptop?

i've a modem from starhub, which my desktop is currently connected to.

& what's a rounter? (ps, dont know how to spell it, it should be something like this)

now your configuration is....

internet -----> modem -----> PC

when your laptop arrives, you should have a router. and the configuration should be...

internet -----> modem -----> router ------> PC

\-------> laptop

if you want to use wireless, get a wireless router.

just make sure you know what you're buying and it'll be fine. i brought my router from there too. you just need to ask questions before you buy.
