I'm trying to get an old dell laptop up and running to give to someone. I want to test the internet on it but seen unable to connect it wirelessly as I don't have the above. I have a password for the network but it's the above I need it seems. Any research I've done seems to lead to finding the password I already have but not what I'm being asked for.


Anyone know please?


PS This should be in the Lounge. Hopefully it will be moved.

You need an ethernet cable to connect the laptop to the modem. That in itself gives you potential internet access. It'll also enable you to access the modem's browser interface, where you can see/change the wi-fi password to test the wi-fi as well. You'll need the modem's admin login name and password. Their default values (maybe admin and password), and the modem's IP address (maybe 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) to enter in the browser, are easily findable in the manual, which will probably also be on the net. I'm not sure which password you already have.

    • Reading this sort of stuff - it's tiring. It's a weird focus on marginal English politics instead of the mainstream and instead of UK politics. How do you use 4 ex-Labour MPs getting elected an example of a supposed trend but ignore the election of 411 Labour MPs in the same election? How do you waffle on for several hundred words about the prospects of new left parties without mentioning what's been happening in this area for the last 20 years in Scotland and Wales?
    • This new movement seems great.  great ideas. But they’re just an opposition party they’re like a subsection of the Labour Party - so perfectly suited to Corbyn - his inspirational rhetoric can only be uttered in opposition.  Power would not suit him - that would require hard decisions that’s not his style, strength or skill

    • Nadia designed me the most beautiful garden taking into account my preferences but also guiding me expertly through the possibilities given I am not particularly knowledgeable about plants/ gardens - she also sourced very competent hard landscaping specialists and the result is a beautiful space which brings me a lot of joy - thank you Nadia!
