[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 87502, member: 1161"] I'm not a computer techie or anything, but if this is the ibook you bought, I THINK with Ethernet 10/100 & 56k modem, that is for cable/dialup internet, not wireless. If it does have wireless capabilities, you have to have a wireless router. The box your easy child hooks into is the modem, and somehow the router and modem talk to each other and the router directs the signal for your laptop wireless to pick up. I hope this is correct in my simplified understanding of how things work, because just 2 hours ago I ordered difficult child a dell laptop for christmas with wireless and I ordered a router with it. When we get it I hope I can figure out how to set it up and configure LOL. My saving grace is I have a bro-in-law who repairs computers for our school board, and a friend who is a computer tech. by trade. If I can't figure it out they'll help me I HOPE. [/QUOTE]
