I gifted myself this weekend with a new IPad 4 and the new HP laptop computer today. I have a 2007 Dell with Vista & having some problems. So this is my question...I need wifi, which I'm assuming means I need a router. I have had no luck with routers. I got 2 cysco's and never could get them connected to my computer. Well one finally did, but I never could unplug and go anywhere in my home and it slowed my system down so much, I finally uninstalled it. When I ordered the laptop I also ordered from Q the Belkin N150 Wireless Router w/easy setup and preset security #E222818. Will this be a good option for the new HP? I need something absolutely easy to install, I'm clueless about these things. How do you get the IPad wifi to connect? Will it automatically connect because the router is installed or do I have to do something when I receive it? I'm sorry for all the questions, but I really need some help. Maybe someone so clueless doesn't need all these things, but I know if I can figure out the IPad I will love it. Thanks for any help.
