Wifi
23 Answers
I do not have a router, I access the internet via a mobile PAYG dongle ,which suits me fine. However, the building in which I live has just installed free Wifi. I am most anxious to benenfit from this, but my question is, what device do I need to get to enable me to do this, and are they expensive?

Alternatively at the bottom right of the screen there are icons for power, sound etc. If the "lighthouse" symbol is there then right-click to turn it on/off. If it's not there then right-click the small arrow to open "show hidden icons". There you will find the lighthouse. Floating the mouse over it will show the state of wireless LAN and Bluetooth - right-click will give you the option to turn it on/off.
