How many different methods of connecting a laptop to the internet are there?

[Leighanne]

Apart from the obvious ones:

Wi-fi from router
Dongles that plug in
3G/4G connected through a mobile phone
Dial Up

Can anyone think of any other methods that a laptop could use get a steady internet connection?

Cheers

You buy two Internet-over-mains adapters, one goes into the socket next to a router and gets connected to it, another one gets plugged in into any socket in the house and then you connect your laptop to it with RJ-45 cable. Nothing gives more stable connection than that.
