How to Set Up a Wireless ISP

Setting up a wireless Internet service provider on your computer involves using a native tool called the Network and Sharing Center. This tool lets you set up and manage all types of Internet connections, both wired and wireless, on your Windows desktop or laptop computer. The Network and Sharing Center is always available through the Control Panel, and using it to set up your wireless connection takes only a few minutes.
