How will you know what is a decent router and modem? well don’t buy the cheapest one you can find for starters! Look at the features and compare them with other models.

Finally , the last step to obtaining wireless internet in your home, is to contact an ISP and tell them you want to buy a wireless internet plan through them. Be sure to shop around. Contact all the available ISPs in your area and check out their prices and options. Some ISPs provide a limited amount of monthly bandwidth. Others charge you for going over a certain amount. In almost all cases, its best to find a ISP that provides unlimited internet access and bandwidth. Speed is also important. Go for the highest speed that your available ISPs can provide. Anything over 12 Mbps is a good decent speed for the average user. If you plan on using the internet a lot, for example, playing online games, watching movies, etc… you may need to go with your ISP’s highest speed that they offer.

Next you need to go out and buy a wireless router. A wireless router is what your wireless cards communicate with when trying to find wireless internet. While you’re at it, you might as well also buy a modem. A modem is what your wireless router communicates with. Essentially it goes like this. You need a computer with a wireless card. The computer communicates with a wireless router. The wireless router than communicates to the modem. And the modem then communicates with your ISP. Your ISP or Internet Service Provider is a company that provides you with internet access. When you order internet through them, many times they will provide you with a modem. So it might be a good idea to ask them if you need to go out and buy the modem yourself. The modem usually connects to an outside phone line or cable connection. You don’t need to worry about this as the ISP should set this up themselves when  you order wireless internet from them.

Suggestions: I would recommend going out and buying a decent quality wireless router and modem. Some cheaper ones might not work as well and you may find yourself having internet problems with it. Usually a simple fix is just turning either the router or modem off for a few seconds and then turning it back on. But I still would recommend going with a good quality router. Also make sure you talk to your ISP about the various internet options they offer. Make sure you get enough bandwidth and speed to fit your needs.
