You can use a wireless network to share Internet access, files, printers, and more. Or you can use it to surf the Web while you're sitting on your couch or in your yard. Plus, it's easier to install than you think.

1.Choose your wireless equipment
2.Connect your wireless router
3.Configure your wireless router
