Answer» Hi, guys My wife has need of a LAPTOP and wants to use it with a wi-fi connection but I have no idea what we need or how to go about it. Our present oldish PC (which works fine and which I shall continue to use but not wi-fi connected) is connected to Talktalk broadband with a Talktalk modem. I obviously have to replace the EXISTING modem but will any wi-fi modem work with Talktalk and how do I then continue to use my existing PC hard wired to broadband? I have a set up disc from Talktalk but presumably that's no use to set up a wi-fi modem? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks. Hello U will not have to replace the modem. U r going to need a wireless router. These routers can be used wireless and Ethernet connections. The modem will connect to the router. U r going to have to connect yr existing PC with a Cat 5e to the router and setup a wireless connection to the laptop.

Hi, guys

My wife has need of a LAPTOP and wants to use it with a wi-fi connection but I have no idea what we need or how to go about it. Our present oldish PC (which works fine and which I shall continue to use but not wi-fi connected) is connected to Talktalk broadband with a Talktalk modem.

I obviously have to replace the EXISTING modem but will any wi-fi modem work with Talktalk and how do I then continue to use my existing PC hard wired to broadband?

I have a set up disc from Talktalk but presumably that's no use to set up a wi-fi modem?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks.
