wireless abroad..
Permalink Closed


I have no idea about modern technology or such so hopefully this isnt to daft a question or if its impossible to answer,never mind ^^! Does anyone know if i brought an english laptop to a foreign country (in my case Japan soon),would i be able to connect to a wireless internet in a different country? Would i have to buy anything to enable it to work abroad or would i just need to configure the settings? Basically i just need to know if my laptop would work at my friends house and a guest house which both have wireless enabled connections free there,so how would i go about doing it..hope if makes sense!

im no expert - but i would say take your lap top and ask for the wireless key to their router put that in to your comp and it should work - i went to a hotle in blackpool they had wireless and all i needed was the key for the router.

im sure there are more quilified people who can supply the answer.

but as far as i know internet conections are much alike

its very simple - do you have a router at home for your wifi?

if you do is it secured?

if not then get it secured.

heres how to conect.

1) click the wireless icon
2) it will show what networks are available
3) when you see your firends network click that 1
4) if it is secured ask for the code key
5) insert the key and then click ok
6) this should conect you to the router

then your comp will say conected to network and you should be able to surf.
