Gateway Wireless Network

Laptops are more and more frequent these days and almost all teenagers and young people have one , as they enjoy these gadgets and also are addicted to communicating via the internet with all their friends and other people they know. They are so into using laptops that sometimes they can use the instant messaging service to communicate with their friends or siblings even when they are in the next room.

Not to mention the fact that some of these young people live together in the same room, for example in the borading schools or in the university campus. In these cases they have a wonderful idea and that is setting up a wireless network laptop Gateway geek squad. The term “geek” is not used as a pejorative here, but rather wants to underline the fact that these people are passionate about laptops and computers and they really know what they are doing, that is why they can afford trying all kinds of crazy experiments and innovations.

Setting up a wireless network laptop Gateway geek squad is a bit difficult, but not impossible. You have more possibilities to do this. The easiest way to make such a network is between two gateway laptops. If they are more recent models, they will have an incorporated wireless card and also a network card. This way if they are next to one another they will be able to detect each other and you can have a “local network” that does not necessarily involve internet connectivity.

Most of the times this kind of network is used between a desktop computer that has wired internet access and a laptop that does not have internet access. If you succeed to connect the two devices you will be able to have internet to the laptop, too, but it will be accessed wireless. You can do that too between a laptop with wired internet connectivity and another laptop.

This can be done this way: go to Control Panel – Network Connections – right click on Wireless Network Connection – Properties – tab Wireless Network – click “Add…” and introduce a name in SSID, for example “john”. Then operate the following settings: network authentication -opne, data encryption – disabled, then tick the option “this is a computer -to-computer network”. Click OK and then search the second laptop for “john” network. Access it and this way you will have a network connectivity between the two devices, also being able to use the internet connectivity for both of them.

If there are more than two laptops, you will only be able to connect them in pairs without an access point. This device will enable all the laptops to connect to it and then communicate with each laptop in the network. Here is a quick guide to using this access point in your attempt to set up a wireless network of more laptops.

I only provided you the minimum information about this subject, but you have to contact a professional to help you with all the details about IPs and stuff you may need or the type of access point or wireless router to use. It’s a complex process and you need more data.1
