help, newbie sa wi-fi

[yellowbird]

Plano ko pong bumili ng laptop pero hindi ko po alam kung ano ang dapat gawin para ma-enjoy ko 'yung wi-fi everywhere I go at puwede akong mag-surf sa internet kahit nasan ako.
Puwede po bang mag-subscribe sa wifi na may monthly na babayaran?
Censya na po, wala pa talaga akong idea.
TIA

built in na wireless connection ng mga bagong laptop ngayon

search ka lang ng network sa mga wifi places at connect ayun! pwede ka na mag surf

you can go with airborne access or globe wiz, they both have monthly plans. airborne access has tie-ups with pldt dsl and smart bro where you can avail of the monthly service for only 99 pesos if you're a subscriber. globe is expensive, IMO. now if you really want to surf all the time, anywhere, you may subscribe to globe visibility or smart 3g or something. this will pretty much give you coverage anywhere.

I'm not sure kung meron pa... I believe SMART offers the P10 per 30 minutes surfing via GPRS/3G.

Yup, ang gusto ko po eh 'yung hindi na ako maghahanap pa ng places or restaurants na may wi-fi sites. Minsan kasi,hassle din 'yun.
One time kasi, sinamahan ko ang friend ko sa starbucks because she has to show me something sa internet. Punong-puno 'yung place, so, hanap na naman kami.
Na-turn off tuloy ako nun na bumili ng laptop coz hindi rin naman pala ganu'n ka-accesible ang connection.
'Yun po bang globe o smart3g, kahit nasa ako, makaka-connect na ako?

[ssaloon]

sulit yung globe wiz. last time i heard, nasa 2k per month yung subscription. basta may globe signal na 3G, you'll be able to connect to the net. bilis pa ng speed.

[shotokan]

i've heard... mas maganda pa daw offer ng Smart kesa sa Globe pagdating sa 3G connections... masyadong mahal daw ang globe... kaya mostly Smart ang pinipili nila... totoo ba yun?

[radiazone]

yup mas mura ang smart using 3G capable phone, kasi 10pesos per 30minutes dapat, e yung sa globe naman per kb ang singil seguro sa pag aaccess mo nang internet in an hour ubos na 100pesos load mo..

pero kung malapit ka sa airport mas ok lasi may signal from smart wifi and globe wifi and thats free....

[moe]

free smart and globe wifi near the airport? are you sure? what airport exactly and where? centennial has mostly AA but haven't seen free wifi there.

[radiazone]

that is in Cebu, i don't know if other airport have... mas malakas pag nasa departure waiting area...

Ano naman po 'yung wireless router? Pinapakabit ba 'yun sa laptop o may built-in na? Para saan po ba 'yun?
Censya na po, di ko pa kasi talaga nag-try ang wi-fi connection.

Wireless router ang nag feed ng wireless signal. Normally, connect mo yung dsl modem to the wireless router. This will allow you to connect to the internet wirelessly. You also use the wireless router to connect/network several pcs wirelessly.

Note, you have to configure some sort of security with your wireless router. Otherwise your neighbors can connect to the internet using your connection. They may even be able to access your pc and network. Google mo na lang kung pano dahil medyo mahaba na explanation.
