Which type of wireless router? Linksys? Cisco?
The router should come with instructions on how to connect.
If not, you should have a modem from your cable company
plug this into the back of the router
turn the router on
turn your PC on.
go the the bottom right and look for your "network connections"
or go to the bottom left of your PC and click
Start/Control Panel/Network & Internet to view network status
You will need an inital password for your router to be able to use your cable service.
This should be on the bottom of the router or in the router instructions.
You will always want to have a password for your wireless router so other users cannot use your Internet Service unauthorized.
Attach the cable which comes in to your house to the new router (this should be in the routers' instructions) and make certain that there is power to it.
On your PC: most newer models will 'find' the new device and will ask if you want it installed or if you have a disc for it.
In Windows you should be able to go into Device Manager or Network if it doesn't pop up and ask you for installation.
On a MAC/IPhone/IPad it will pick up the signal automatically and then you set your preferences under 'General' ICON.
If this is your first wireless you will have to pick a network and name it as your default.
Testimonial: "Thank you very helpful"
YES> If you will install a router into your network, it will share the internet conenction among the two computers. Both wireless and wired. So the connection will be from
Modem ----> Router (wireless/wired capable) ------> PCs (two Pcs both the desktop and the laptop
and you can also add up another PC if you want to.

Pleasure! I feel the pain-I grew up with Typewriters and carbon paper! Had to learn how to set up computers for everybody else in my family lest they become backyard Frisbees!
