If a laptop computer doesnt come with wireless, can you add wireless?
 

Anyone know if you can add wireless to a laptop that didnt come with it?
At first I assumed that of course you can, but recently im reading things saying that if the laptop doesnt have an antenna already you cant add wireless to it.

any ideas?

pretty sure you can get a wireless card

Buy a linksys wireless card and a router

yes, what he said

I got my gf a usb plugin that makes her laptop wireless, it works great and is a netgear.

You can just stick it in that credit card sized slot on the side of your laptop. PCMIA? Some shit like that

Yes you can buy a wireless lan card. There are also USB ones beeing sold.

yes, u can get wireless card or a usb plugin or even a internet line on a card but dont buy that laptop. At this age, what kinda laptop comes without wireless???

Impossible..one of the biggest scams out there ;)

Wireless card, providing you have the port.

You're a programmer asking this kind of question?:disgust

that's what I was wondering :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

nope, if you buy a laptop without built in wireless you are not allowed to use the internet, at all.

please log off asap or i will be forced to contact the authorities.


i hope you make the right choice.

i know nothing about laptops
eat me

you just get a normal wireless card and install it..

you need to have an empty PCMCIA/PC card slot It's usually on one of the two sides of the laptop. the slot is about 2 inches long by about 1/4 inche tall and normally has a piece of plastic holding it's space. there is a tiny eject button on one side (usually the front side) that will help you to eject the plastic piece / space holder.

As long as you have an available slot - you can put a wireless card in there ...

there are laptops that can go on the internet without wires?

I am shocked

yes you can, and plug it into your usb port....i think
