    where is there a good and fully comprehensive guide
    to setting up and securing a wireless connection?

    i googled for one and i cant seem to find one that
    is step by step and really detailed.
    i only see ones that say what you should do but
    dont actually say "how" to do it.....

    thanks
    Sharon

    Apart from posting as per Chalk's request above have you looked in the manual for your router? It is usually in pfd form on the cd in the box or available for download from the Company's website.

    This Google search seems to have lots of material worth a look.

    It appears that you would like a step-by-step guide that will tell you what to do without any proper understanding on your part of what you're actually doing. While this might work if everything goes perfectly, what happens if it doesn't? An author couldn't possibly cover every eventuality.

    There have been many times when I've been implementing a new application or technology that I would have sold my soul for just such a document. In its absence I was forced to read up on the various techologies that were involved. At the end of the process - although it took longer to get there - I (mostly) understood what I was doing and why I was doing it. This is much better than blindly following someone else's step-by-step instructions.

    Be prepared to spend some time researching. If you have questions that you can't find answers to by Googling, I'm sure that the very helpful people here will be happy to either answer your questions or point you in the right direction.

    Regards,

    Liam
