a laptop will detect a wireless source, so basically all you have to do to connect to your router, if it is protected by encryption and password. Look for wifi's from you laptop, if you household one has a name connect to it , if protected you need the password, for it to connect and voila? Failing that go into you router menu by typing 192.168.0.1 in your browser, or some are 192.168.1.1 pending on brand of router, and see if router recognises your laptop. In laptop control panel, networking options, TCP/IP>properties, set to auto detect?
Yea what Lindsay said just click on your connection and put your password in and your set
