    How are you getting internet right now?

    What service do you have?

    Do you have a box that connects a wire to your computer from the box(router) for the internet?

    I bought a little D-link G from staples and are getting the internet off of our landlord. We plug it in the USB 2.0

    EDIT: The landlord has the router thingy.

    Don't buy the router you were talking about in the other thread. There would be no way to hook it up unless he connected it to his main router. How far is his aprtment from yours? If it is close I'm pretty sure you'd be able to get internet connection from him with the wireless connection built in to your laptop. Unless you are too far away of course.
