I just got a "Wireless Access Point/ Router?" what the world does it do?

I’m NOT a computer techy guy- Someone just gave me a NETGEAR Wireless Access Point thing. Can someone explain to me in laymans term what it does?
I currently log on to the internet via wireless signal that are "borrowed" from other people in my apt building that do not have their signals encrypted. My laptop just picks up the signals.
Is this access point thing something that can benefit me? Will it create another free signal or make the ones available much stronger?
If not, i’m selling it because I do NOT plan on paying for an internet service
FYI- I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR IDEALS ON "STEALING" OR "LEGALITY" OF MY INTERNET CONNECTION.
If people are tard enough to not encrypt the signal then it is a free open source for the public to use, just like free WIFI hotspots anywhere.

How do I install wireless adapter?

I just bought the Netgear wireless adapter, just the adapter, nothing else.
I thought I can get the installation started by just plugging it in, but apparently it’s not working that way. I see it on Device Manger, but it won’t give me internet connection.
Any idea at all? The adapter I have is WNDA3100
Thanks in advance!

I have a Wireless access point setup & iphone finds it but cant access internet. why?

I have windows vista running on a wired network. I have a wireless access point setup to broadcast to my iPhone and my iPhone sees the network and connects to it. Whenever I try to use the internet connection though, I have no success. The error message says that I am not connected to the internet. I have no other wireless connections coming into or out of my laptop, there is no issues with the WEP authentication and my phone still sees the adhoc network I have created, yet it just will not work… any ideas?

What is the device called which,wirelessly allows internet access through a satellite link?

I’m told there’s a device which can connect to a satellite, be connected to a computer, and the computer received an internet connection from the satellite. I’m not talking about hooking it to a cellphone or wifi. I’m talking about a device which would work like a satellite connection for your computer to allow internet access most everywhere you go. Even stuck in a boat in the middle of the atlantic you’d be able to connect to the internet with this device. What is it called?

D-Link Wireless N Router Not Connecting To Internet?

I have recently purchased a D-Link Wireless N Router (DIR-615) and I set it up exactly how it told me in the setup guide. When I had attempted to connect to the internet, it would not but yet it said I had a internet connection. I had switched back to my modem and it worked just fine.

I also have a MacBook Pro and attempted to connect to my wireless internet through it and it didn’t work. How can I fix this problem? Is it the router?
I have also installed this same router on my grandmother’s computer and it works just fine.
