How do I get broadband internet service on just my laptop?
How can I get broadband internet service on just my laptop? right now I have a 3 computer network and my brothers computer is the one with the modem, he's moving out soon and that leaves me without internet access on my laptop. I know that you can get broadband cards that slide into a slot on the side of the laptop but where can I get service for a monthly rate and not just at hotspots but inside my house. I need internet access on my laptop so I can do my homework for school......or I could put my brothers modem(since its not his its the cable companies) on my desktop and keep my network right?
No, its not the only computer in my house, I have a desktop, the bill is not in my brothers name, and I know they are called wifi cards and I have a router, I just want to know how I can get internet on my laptop. I think what I will do is just move the modem to my desktop and then I'll still have access on my laptop like I have now. When he moves out he'll have to set up his cable tv anyways so might as well set up his internet service too right? besides he can't take the modem from this residence its not his its the cable companies and he doesn't pay the bill.

call the cable company. if your brother stops paying the bill then you need your own service from them. the cards you are refering to are wifi cards. in order to use them, you still need the cable service and you need to buy a router as well to turn your house into a hotspot. If your laptop is the only computer in the house, you can plug it directly up to the modem.
