Answer» Hi there everyone. Looking for a bit of help with a set up which I think is pretty easy but I am not technical. Here is my situation..... I opened a small kids craft store which has no wi-fi. There is no computer in the store but sometimes I bring my small Samsung NC-10 Netbook with no CD drive (with XP) with me. We do have a router from our cable company. My daughter and her friend would like wi-fi so they can use their ITOUCH/ipad for viewing YouTube and other things that require wi-fi. Figuring I needed a wireless router, I went on Amazon and did my research to find a good rated, but inexpensive one. I ended up purchasing the CISCO/LINKSYS E-1000. My 2 questions.... 1) How do I set this up? In other words, what plugs go in where? I tried a few "plug here, ethernet cable there" but I obviously do not know what I am doing. 2) Do I need to leave my netbook in the shop for the wi-fi to work? Thanks so much for the help!!Please forgive a silly question but..... you do have internet access in the store, correct?Not a stupid question to me. I have the triple play from Cablevision.

Hi there everyone. Looking for a bit of help with a set up which I think is pretty easy but I am not technical.

Here is my situation.....

I opened a small kids craft store which has no wi-fi. There is no computer in the store but sometimes I bring my small Samsung NC-10 Netbook with no CD drive (with XP) with me. We do have a router from our cable company.

My daughter and her friend would like wi-fi so they can use their ITOUCH/ipad for viewing YouTube and other things that require wi-fi. Figuring I needed a wireless router, I went on Amazon and did my research to find a good rated, but inexpensive one. I ended up purchasing the CISCO/LINKSYS E-1000.

My 2 questions....

1) How do I set this up? In other words, what plugs go in where? I tried a few "plug here, ethernet cable there" but I obviously do not know what I am doing.

2) Do I need to leave my netbook in the shop for the wi-fi to work?

Thanks so much for the help!!Please forgive a silly question but..... you do have internet access in the store, correct?Not a stupid question to me.

The router will be your devices' wireless access point if configured correctly.Hi there,

Thank you. I READ the manual. A bit tough when you don't know what certain terms are or what they do. I am still not up & running with it.

The manual states to put the CD in the drive. I only have a netbook that I sometimes bring to the shop. It has no disk drive.
