New member Username: CocosuPost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-08 | You need to get yourself a Wireless Router and connect it to your modem. So it should go like this Surfboard SB5120 > Wireless Router > The Laptop should pick up the Wireless connection and you're good to go. I recommend one of the 3 below $100. I used them all and they are the most reliable in that range.
