There's wireless in my apt., but when I want to get on the phone I just hop on another wireless connection from somewhere else in this complex....
It works fine, most of the time. OH and I have a desktop with a USB 'antenna'.....heheheee..
*oh and for your info Washing Machine.....you right-click on your 'connection' icon and "view available wireless connections"....and then just CONNECT !! Easy as pie !
