Well kk

1. Well i bought a new desktop and i already have a desktop connected to the wireless router and a laptop that runs fine on the wireless router but i couldnt find out how to set up a wireless connection network for the new desktop to get the internet running on it i did try going to go to control panel and setting up one but it wouldnt work ??? it only seems to have a local connection network...???

2. Well lol i got also another desktop too but this one was bought used and came from a diff. country this pc is 220v and my home electricity is 120v i did take that desktop apart and try to switch the switch in the back to 120 v but it didnt have one =/ so i was wondering if i plug this 220 v desktop directly into my home wall outlet would it fry? or run normal...???

Well do you have a wireless card for the PC?

First you need to install a wireless card ( if you dont have one ) in your desktop, if you use windwos xp be sure you have SP2 on it , enable wireless in your router , dont set any encrypted security yet( WEP ) until you are sure you wireless is working. after you have enable you wireless and install you wireless card go head powercycle the network.

1)unplug the power cord from the router and dsl/cable modem for at least one minute

2) plug back in your powercord from you dsl/cable modem wait till all light are on

3) plug back in you router powercord and wait tilll lights are on

3) restart you desktop and you done your desktop should see the signal from you wireless router

Yes, it *shouldn't* blow anything if the voltage supply is less than the rated ALTHOUGH if it doesnt say its compatible with that voltage/amperage DO NOT DO THAT!. You will need a new powersupply.

Try getting a new jack type so you have more voltage.

since your fist question has been answered I'll answer you second one

It wont fry but it wont work either. You have two options.

1) Buy a new power supply. just make sure you get the right connections and watts to run the PC. e.g 500W and a 24 pin M/B connection. the best way to do this if you don't know what I'm talking about is to bring the old Power supply in with you and ask for a 120v replacement

2) Get a power converter to boost the power
