If you plug in to the ethernet socket and google vista bt homehub fix you will get a thousand responses. There should be a microsoft fix for it. Download, install and wireless works.
I had loads of problems sorting my mates laptop until i stumbles across this.
You need to buy a wireless router and if you want to have a wireless connection to your computer as well, it needs to have a wireless network card. You can buy wireless usb dongles that act as a card if you haven't got one which are ok for simple surfing.Super David Silva 21 said:I gotta Ps3 yesterday and want to use it to go online wirelessly
Now my computer has a modem connection but i been looking about how to get a wireless connection most of this morning.
From what i gather all you need is a router and a card adapter or something. the name Linksys has often cropped up as a decent router.
Any Wizards confirm is this right? You don't have to contact your internet provider or anything?
Can't be bothered if it's too complicated and a pain in the arse.

Might be a silly question (depending on your technical competence) but are you sure your present modem/router isn't wireless? There can't be many that aren't nowadays.Super David Silva 21 said:I gotta Ps3 yesterday and want to use it to go online wirelessly

If not then your PC must be plugged into the modem/router in which case you just need to replace it with something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TD-...ctions/dp/B0031SUB4S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top for £30 or for more functionality http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TD-...ctions/dp/B00B1NSB8S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top for £75.
You simply unplug the line from your phone socket in the back of your present modem/router and put it in the new one (the same for your PC) so no need for wireless dongles for the PC (wired is always faster). You just need to run the included CD and you should be up and running.
Fair enough, although I've only received wireless ones for a good few years now.talkativesprout said:Over ground non BT fibre connections usually use separates mate. so plenty of modems that aint wireless knocking aboutColinLee said:Might be a silly question (depending on your technical competence) but are you sure your present modem/router isn't wireless?
