how to install magicjack softphone software on new laptop

I am using my MJ installed on a desktop. I now have a new laptop networked via router w/the desktop. How do I set up the MJ to get the softphone software on the laptop? And then does the MJ device get connected to either computer or the router?

Just plug the MJ Dongle into the USB port of your laptop and it will then install the software it needs ( providing you are hooked up to the internet of course). If you have a Plus and want to use it on your laptop and are not at home and not in range of your WiFi, you need to keep it plugged into your laptop's USB port ( and be near another WiFi signal of course). If you are using your MJ Plus at home then you can leave it in your Router, but the softphone will not work on your laptop OR desktop since the Plus is plugged into your router.
