How To Setup Wireless Laptop Networking With Windows Vista
If you have recently purchased a Sony Vaio with wireless capabilities and are now desperately seeking advice on how to setup wireless laptop networking with Windows Vista, you now have help at hand.
The first thing that you need to make sure is that your notebook has a wireless device. It can be either installed internally or attached to your laptop. In your case, the Sony Vaio comes preinstalled with wireless technology, so you need not worry. If in the rarest of rare cases, your notebook does not have this feature, you can always buy a wireless router such as the Wireless 802.11g Wi-Fi PCMCIA Network Laptop LAN Card from Siemens. It would enable access from your laptop to a wireless network.
The next step for you would be to configure the wireless access point or router to ensure that the requisite settings are made. All you have to do is to type the router or access point IP address into the browser. This would immediately lead you to the router setup page. Then you would be prompted to provide a username and password, which you can find in the manual. Once you are done loading the set up page, you can then click the Wireless tab and set up the network SSID.
Next, select a security type such as WPA or WEP to protect your wireless network. Then click on the icon of wireless network in the notification area in your laptop's task bar. Then click on Connect to network window. Select the network and click on Connect. In case, you are trying to connect to an unsecured network, you will find that a warning screen will be displayed. However, if you are trying to connect to a public network such as that in a public area which offers free wireless Internet, your laptop would be ready to accept the connection. So, then click the 'Connect any way' tab. After you have access to wireless networking, your wireless network laptop would ask you for a security key. Enter the same security key that you entered on your router setup screen. Then click the 'Save this network' tab. This way, the next time you power up your wireless laptop network in that area, it will connect you to the Internet automatically. Congratulations. You have successfully setup the wireless laptop networking. Now, the next time you are at your favorite coffee house, you would not have to worry about being disconnected from the rest of the world. You can stay connected easily with your wireless internet laptop by your side.
