Set up wireless modem without using a network card

How can I set up my wireless router (WRT54G v8) if I do not have a working network card on my laptop? The wireless card works fine, but the wired ethernet card is shot. I have been connecting to the Internet via the USB port.
The set up instructions assume you can connect to the Internet using your computer's ethernet card.
I have a Comcast cable Internet modem.

You can setup the router through a wireless connection although it is not ideal.
With default settings the default SSID is "linksys" with no encryption. You connect to this network and open http://192.168.1.1/ Then you configure the router for your internet connection, change the SSID, enable wireless security, change the router configuration password, etc.
It is a little bit more complicated as you have to make sure you configure your router and not your neighbor's who may also use a Linksys router in default configuration and you have a couple of disconnects after changing the SSID and after enabling the wireless security.

  • HELP me set up new account without using a CREDIT CARD or PAYPAL

    I am setting up an iTunes account on a Dell PC. The account setup wiz asks for a credit card but I do not want to use a credit card, instead use gift cards only. Am I forced to add in a credit card to activate an account? Is there a way around this?
    Thanks
    dan.

    No-
    Go back to the home page of the iTunes Store. To the right, under Quick Links, click on Redeem. Enter your gift card information, and then go through the prompts to create your account again. When you get to the payment information step, it should now give you the option for "none" since you've already successfully entered your gift card code.
    Good luck,

    Hey Babakgh,
    I understand that you've experienced recent issues with your Wi-Fi network where you can only connect to it if you're close to the router. I would start off troubleshooting your Wi-Fi network by following the steps in here:

  • Can I setup my ipad 3 without using a credit card? Can I just go to AT

    Can I just get AT&T to setup it up without me using a credit card?

    Yes. Do NOT create an Apple ID when setting up the iPad. You have to try to download a free app first in order to create an ID without a credit card.
    Do that after AT&T activates the iPad. Read this for information about setting up an Apple ID without using a credt card.

  • How can I pay for photoshop CC without using a credit card?

    My son is paying for CC without using a credit card, The subscription is being taken from his bank account/debit card, I was told this wasn't possible by an adobe rep. Is it possible?
    Adobe told me everyone that has a subscription must have a credit card to pay.

    A debit card, if it can be used as a credit card, can be used to pay for anything online. If he's using his debit card to pay for his CC account then it is possible. The rep may have just been referring to using a checking account being a method that isn't possible.
    He needs to stop using his debit card to pay for anything online as debit cards are unsecured so if someone were to acquire the card number they could clear out his checking account and your son would be unable to do anything about it.

  • HT2204 I have recently immigrated to the US but my apple ID is still stuck with my previous country. How do I change the country? Preferably without using a credit card

    I have recently immigrated to the US but my apple ID is still stuck with my previous country. How do I change the country? Preferably without using a credit cardI've only been here in the US 2 months and still have no US credit card.

    Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps,  iTunes U content or podcasts without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • Can i create apple id without use the credit card?

    can i create apple id without use the credit card?

    I'm getting the same thing. I created a new Apple ID via the Internet (appleid.apple.com) When I go to my device to try to use it, I have to review it first and in that process, I'm asked for a credit card or iTunes gift card. There is NO 'none' option.
    I work in a school district and we'd like employees to use their own apple ID for free apps which will allow them the freedom to explore apps without weighing down our tech dept with myriad requests for random apps. I deal with a broad demographic and many users are suspicious of putting personal credit card info on an Internet-based account.
    However, it appears they are locked out of the store unless they have some form of payment on file. Even if they enter a gift card, what happens when it's used up? Will they get locked out of the store if they don't have a balance?
    Anyone have a work around? If not ... APPLE Please update your support materials to explain this, or fix the bug.
    Thanks!
