I only have dial up internet access. I would like to have wireless connection to it, but I can only find information on Broadband wireless. Can anyone advise me on what I need to do. I have a WiFi ready laptop with windows XP (SP2).

Thanks

 frane, I've got the same problem, so I typed 'wireless' into the category search and got loads of info - it seems you have to be on broadband to go wireless.

No doubt someone will enlighten us. Watch this space!

you don't _have_ to have broadband to use wireless internet connections, not in theory.

two problems though:
1) most wireless routers (you need one of these), accept ethernet input or usb input (sometimes). neither of these are used to be knowledge with dial-up.
2) it'll be very, very slow. painfully slow.

idea: if you find yourself using the internet so much that you want to use it all round the house, get broadband.
You can get a dial on demand Dial-Up modem that can run wirelessly, The dialup modem is also a router with points for 4 wired ethernet connecitons. 3Com do 2 different types ( 1 of which I have used when I was working in an area that could not get Broadband or ISDN for that matter ) And when set up correctly, It works really well, Its not as slow as you might think
