I have been trying unsucessfully to set up my laptop to get onto WiFi. Is there any places around Oaklands Pk/Glenelg area that can set it up for me or can anyone out there tell me in laymen terms how to do it myself. I will be able to get free WiFi soon when I commence my new employment at Olympic Dam so I want to be able to bring along my laptop to have something to do on lonely nights (eg surf porn ).
FWIW my laptop has built in wireless 802.11a/b/g+BT if those codes make any sense!! I have no idea as still run dial up at home.

Cant help you there, mine's despite being old has always just picked it up automatically when you turn the wireless button on. I thought they all worked like that.

My lappy is pretty new, and I just flick a switch on the front to activate the wireless thingamebobby...

If my next door neighbour has his running I get his connection come up...just need his password now

Just got marion libary to activate thre wifi, took them over 1hr, works but know idea how!

The morning after a nite on the turps when I first drop me guts...
Then it gets a bit Wifi I can tell ya!

Probably a different issue but some advice others may find handy at time as I know I would have.
I recently changed over to a new router as the old one gave up the ghost, couldn't get my wi-fi lap top working with it.
Rang up internode who were very helpful and helped turn the "wireless" part of the modem on with a few tweaks on the routers web page but no matter what they directed or I tried we couldn't get my laptop to pick it up although it picked up the old router fine.
The tech suggested it may be because its a fairly old laptop and I may need some new drivers as certain drop down boxes weren't appearing in the settings that should.
I downloaded every driver under the sun, still no go.
Went back into the router settings, went to the wireless config and as a last resort thought I'd change the channel number in the settings, it was set to 6 when I got it and when the tech was on the phone we changed it to 1, he said it would be one of those 2 channels.
Anyway, as luck would have it, I changed it to channel "2" and voila suddenly my laptop picked up the wi-fi!
