FOLLOW UP Some advice, please. My friend rented a computer

[lapfog_1]

1. there are many issues...

does the computer she rented have wifi?
Does the cable provider have an internet service. Does she have the modem (connects to the cable)?

Does that modem provide a wifi Host Station?

once you have that information... find out what the wifi station name, account name, and password is plus the security scheme (like WPA2). Then navigate on the computer to the settings menu, select networks, and then wifi... and then the display available connections. Find the station name (there should only be a few). Enter the account name and password ( under the security type that matches the wifi station).

That should do the trick. She should not store anything on the rental... and when she returns it, erase the browsing history. They should scrub the PC and re-install Windows before they rent it again... but this is rental center we are talking about.
