| | If you are connecting wirelessly to the internet your sky router will only reach about 300 feet if it is a G router. Your laptop is portable and will go anywhere. But dont expect your internet provider to follow you around like a puppy. |

| | If you also have a cell-phone and it allows tethering you can do this: http://www.ehow.com/how_4480859_teth...t-laptop.htmle That will allow you to use your laptop anywhere you go as long as you have phone signal. All the cell phone companies are different, so check with your carrier and see if they offer it. Make sure you know what the data plan is so you know what you are allowed to do with tethering and any costs associated with it. Last edited by Thorsen; 20 May 2010 at 01:12 PM.. Reason: more info |

| | As I assume you are in the UK - the phone providers provide mobile internet dongles on a pay as you go basis. for example t-Mobile offer £2/day - £7/week - £15 month. This may be useful if you need occasional net access when not at home or where free wireless hot-spots are not available |

That you don't understand fully how your router and internet connection works or you're expecting way too much from the routers capabilities. |
