They don't connect to home - they connect to the radio station in the coffee shop (wireless networking is radio). Depending on the site, you may have to spend money (give a credit card) to login or it may be free, in which case there might be directions for the login and password to use.


Lots of places offer wireless access: Airports, Libraries, some cities.I see people connecting to the Internet with their laptops. I have a wireless laptop, I bought a wireless ?
The coffee shop has its own modem that you have to have permisson to use its nothing to do with their modems at home
Places like coffee shops and pretty much every airport has wireless hot spots for people to connect wirelessly to internet from their laptops or handhelds. I dont know about coffee shops but im pretty sure airports are free. But yeh your wireless router will only work within your house. It's best to have it protected with a password or people can hack into your connection and use up all of your internet right outside your house. Sometimes even your next door neighbour.
You have most likely a built in wireless card used for your wireless two modem router. you need an external card for you're cell phone provider. I have dsl 2 wireless great for home but when I go on the road for my business I plug in my cingular cell card and feed through that.
The coffee shops have their own wifi that they connect to. The people are not connecting to their own wifi.
It is called a hotspot. Many are free. Some you have to pay.


Many times they give you the ';key'; to get on it.
When in coffee shops, at malls, in the library or otherwise away from home they aren't connecting to their own internet subscription. They are connecting to a free, wifi connection with their wirless laptop. You can do the same with yours, learn how.
Alot of coffee shops offer wireless internet. You need to talk to the barista and ask how to connect to their specific router.
there computer connects to the sever at the place they are at.. several businesses offer internet service for a small fee, and some charge nothing... we have a place we can go in our town square and use the internet... also, you can get a certian type of internet that works off satilights and you can use it most anywhere...
