I am new to the wireless network thing so bear with me.
I bought an MN-700 when I got a new HP notebook wih built
in b/g wireless. I thought that was all I needed. I
only have the laptop, and wanted the MN-700 so that I
could use the web anywhere in the house over the wireless
system. However, all of the diagrams and setup
instructions show the base station being plugged into the
back of a computer via the blue ethernet cable. So what
gives? Can I set up the system for use by my laptop any
other way, or am I missing a key component? Do I need to
configure the built-in wireless on the laptop
seperately? I tried to folow the 'wireless setup'
instructions but that didn't work either. HELP! Thanks
in advance to anyone offering sugestions.
