I love how you have his number saved with a description of where he's from like "John from the Old testament"

When you bum off someone's WiFi, do they give you their password and name of their network?

When you say your apartments have Internet, is it like when the landlord says your apartment has cable TV service? If so, then you still need to activate the service.

Ask your landlord who the service provider is (cable company, phone company, other), then contact them, and explain your dilemma. I'm sure they will be able to hook up, and provide equipment and instructions, all for a monthly fee. Otherwise, you've got to keep borrowing WiFi service from neighbors close to you physically.

The interner should be a white cable with a little needle tip coming out of one of your walls. You need to buy a router (which you'll need to pay for) and plug it into the wall. The job of the router is to connect you to the internet (which is that white wire). You can connect to it remotely (using wi-fi) or you ca plug directly into the router with a an ethernet/LAN cable. Both will connevt you to the router which should connect you to the white wire (which is internet)

How come no one ever taught me how to do this 😔😩😩 how come they don't teach this stuff in school

If he says theres internet then that should mean he will give you the wifi to the building where you all share it. If you need a router then you need your own internet, you'll need to pay for it and have your own wifi. That's not clear unless hes saying the place has had fibre optics installed so you can get fibre internet but that doesnt mean you dont have to still go get your own wifi. That's stupid

Yeah you need a router.. Unless you can get on someone's WiFi.

Before you pick anything up, maybe you should call your landlord and ask him/her or even one of the neighbors. The 2 places I lived that had internet included, all I needed was a password.

And if I went to Walmart tomorrow and picked up a Wi-Fi router, is that all I need to do to get back on the internet? I just plug in the router and the Wi-Fi is back on? Is that all it takes? Or am I supposed to call somebody to come in and do that to get it all set up? I just don't know.

Regardless you would probably need to the password for the apartment buildings Wi-Fi.

You can call an ISP and have them install all that stuff for you.

Why did they kick you off lol

Come on you can do it!!

TurtlePink · 22-25, F

Everyone else in my apartment has their OWN Wi-Fi network thingy. So to get your own network you have to buy a router, right?

TurtlePink · 22-25, F

And if I do have to go get a Wi-Fi router does it matter what kind I get?

if there is no wifi then yeah, chances are you need a router. to send wifi, it will connect to a telephone socket, you can get splitters for them if you need..(like a double adapter that lets you plug in 2 things) I wouldn't be hooking up to just any wifi if you do any banking etc. You can get modems/routers for pretty cheap. Can you ask a neighbour how they are getting access?
