How Does It All Come Together
Apart from your computer, the most important piece of equipment you'll need is a wireless router. This is used to convert digital signals to radio waves and vice verse It is the hub of your wireless connection and any computers within range and carrying the correct hardware will be able to access the internet effortlessly.
Next you'll need a wireless network adapter. This plugs into your computer and is used to communicate with the wireless router. The adapter converts the radio wave signal sent by the router into a digital signal that the computer can understand. Adapters come in two forms, the ones that plug into an external slot on your PC or laptop, and ones that attach to your motherboard, inside your computer.
Once you have your router and adapter you can connect to the internet on a wireless network. You will probably already have an Internet Service Provider from when you were using a hard line connection, and you will be able to continue with this ISP if you so choose to. Additional wireless protection software is recommended.
The above is what you need for a basic home set up for one computer. Additional work is required for multiple connections at home, or at a business.
