a. you don't need to pay for extra "wireless internet service"
b. wireless router converts your basic internet service into wireless internet service

rogers customer:
you need to unplug the internet black box from rogers for about 30sec then plug to your router

bell customer:
you need some basic knowledge about how to configure your router for pppoe networking.

As you are asking such question, I will assume you are a bell user.

It might be easier to find a friend who knows how to play around with gadgets.

1. get a short network cable directly plug into your wireless router
2. reboot your router
3. hit "Start" button, click on "Run" /for windows xp/vista desktop
3. hit "Start" button /for windows 7 desktop
4. type "cmd" and hit Enter
5. type "ipconfig /renew"
//////////////Can be skipped if you can read the router setup manual
6. type "ipconfig"
7. take down the address of your "Default Gateway"
8. type the address at your browser.
//////////////
9. Find out the default login/password for the router
10. Usually they have some kind of wizard to assist you from setuping the network.
11. Something like this would be what you are looking for. Keyword "PPPoE"
12. type in the username/password that provided by your internetn sevice provider

If you can actually go that far and have the individual pc/laptop running then you should know how to setup the wireless network.

Otherwise, invite your techie friend to your house for a nice dinner with your family and they will get you wireless network setup without much trouble.

There are just way too many scenarios of setup a simple network without you have the knowledge to describe the issue/background in detail.

Nice and helpful tips. But just one thing, it should read "setting up" there. :blowzy:
