What do i need to be wireless

[haleyscomet]

Hello,
I bought a "wireless router" for my new lap top today, I was previously hooked up directly to a modem, now my computer is plugged into the router(which connects to the old modem). So I'm still not wireless and am still stuck in one place. What can I do?

Hello haleyscomet;

Can your laptop "see" the wireless router when you turn the wireless card on?

What laptop and what router are you working with?
