Is there any way I can hook up internet to my laptop without wifi?
Question Posted Friday June 29 2012, 11:33 pm
I can't use wifi because I have a computer in my house that has internet, but won't download things and there's something wrong with it, so I can't hook up wifi. I already tried. Can I plug something else into my laptop to get internet on it while I'm at home?
If you have a modem, there should be an Ethernet port on it. You use this to connect it to the computer so you have an internet connection. If there is already a cable from the modem to the PC, you can take it out of the PC and put it in your laptop.
If there is no cable, you can buy one for very cheap, or you may have one lying around. Just connect the modem to your laptop. Both have the same shape hole, to plug it in to, so the cable is the same on both sides.
