How to Get Connected to the Internet Using Wireless
Wireless Internet connections are available in many locations, such as a home wireless network or wireless Internet offered by businesses. As long as your computer has a wireless network card, you can connect to these networks, if you know the network name and the password. Not all wireless networks use security, and you can connect to these without having a password for that network.
