I dont HAVE A CD DRIVE!!!! so how do i configure my laptop to get internet off my wireless router without installing the cd (because i dont have a cd drive)

I take it your laptop is wireless enabled? if you have a current wired connection for your laptop then you can download any software you may need from the router manufacturer's website. You probably dont need any software, all that will be on the disk is a manual, you need to know the address of the router it will be something like.. "192.168.2.1" you then type this into a web browser whislt connected to the router over ethernet and then configure from there.

Do you have a thumbdrive or flash memory card? And do you have a reader or USB port on your laptop? You can transfer the drivers that way and then do the install.
