I don't have DSL anymore, nor the modem or router I used when I did have it (I was using an ethernet cable) and I now have a different ISP (for the wifi): rogers. The rogers modem is called 'ignite'. I'm trying to use rogers wifi at home on my laptop which only ever used DSL before. I'm already using wifi at home on my phone.
On the desktop I don't see any way of connecting to wifi.
Since you're on Rogers, you will have a modem. You connect to it with an Ethernet cable, just as you did with DSL. You just connect the cable from your computer to the modem and it should just work. As for the WiFi password, you can always get Rogers to reset it, but you'd then have to change it on the phone too. Did you set the password? Or did someone else? If someone else, they may remember what it is. As I mentioned, you might be using the Network Manager to configure your network connections. If so, you can have both WiFi and Ethernet connections. By default, WiFi would be used, if the Ethernet cable is not connected. If it is, Ethernet will be used. If you're not using Network Manager, you will have some manual configuration, which will vary by Linux distribution
