Wifi Facility

[davidanthony]

I have a Thompson TG580 wireless router for my home broadband. Can I have WiFi with this, if so, how ?!

"Wireless" is "wi fi" so you already have it.

Did any documentation come with the router as this should explain how to use wi fi ?

Basically your router will broadcast a "name" for itself over wi fi and when you go on your laptop (or whatever device you want to connect) you look for this broadcast name on the list of local wi fi devices.

You then select (or connect to) this broadcast name and it should work.

Of course you need to find what the broadcast name is, and this should be in the documentation (though you can change it). It might also be stuck on the router case or the box it came in.

You might also need a password if your wi fi on the router is password protected. This will also be in the documentation or maybe stuck on the router case.

If your wi fi has NOT got a password then set one up as any of your neighbours could be logging on to your router and stealing your broadband.
