You will need a broadband Internet access (Cable/DSL)
subscription.

modem.
Connect the modem to a wireless Broadband router (such as the
D-Link DI-713P

If an Ethernet port is available on the router, connect a computer
that is equipped with an Ethernet Network adapter (such as the

Install the drivers for the wireless network adapter (such as the
D-Link
Air
Plus
DWL-650+
