The short answer is, it depends. Many laptops come with a network port in the back or on the side that can be used to connect to a wired network. The port looks like a telephone jack except it has 8 pins instead of 4. If your laptop doesn't have a port, you can buy a network card that plugs into one of the card slots in the side. In either case you'll need a CAT5 or CAT6 standard network cable to connect the laptop to the network hub. Hope that helps. you can also install a wireless access point onto your network
Figure out is there wireless available on the lan. If so, just get the wireless key and connect via the windows inbuilt wireless client.
If there's no wireless, it connects the exact same way a normal PC would connect.
You can do this several ways. The most common way for homes and small busnesses is to use a router. For a typicle home, connect a wirless router to your cable or DSL modem. After setting up the router, you can have computers access through a wirless adapter or directly connect to the LAN ports on the router. Go to www.ihome-wireless-network.com for mor info.
The most simple connection would be to use a cross-over cable (typically yellow). A network switch can also be used to connect both devices.
Laptops can also use an Ad-Hoc connection by connecting to each machine via wireless network adapters.
Just connect your network switch in one of four wireless lan ports. But if you are ready to spend more money you can buy wireless cards for all your PCs in that way you are not trapped with cables.
if your wireless router has lan ports then the answer is yes.
A wired LAN uses wires to connect the computers but a wireless LAN uses radio waves.
If you mean, "What is a wireless LAN?" The answer is simple. A wireless LAN is a network that connects multiple computers, gaming consoles, and gaming devices and allows them to connect to the internet, but only if they are capable of using wireless. Wireless LAN is achieved by using a wireless router. LAN stands for Local Area Network.
LANs can be of wireless or wired type.In wireless LAN access points can be used tointerconnect the LANs and to Connect wired LANs bridges can be used. By naghma
A WiFi network and a LAN network differ from each other. The biggest difference is that a WiFi network is run through a wireless connection., whereas a LAN network is run through cable.
Between the wireless network and the wired network
LAN is wired WLAN is wireless
No. The USB connection will be used to pass the data, not a LAN card.
Try this setup: Cable/Dsl Modem---->Wireless router---->wireless devices, desktop.
To connect a computer to other computers (i.e. to a network) you need a network adapter, also called a Network Interface Card. This adapter should be suitable for a network which you want to connect to. Wireless adapters are for wireless networks, wired adapters are for wired networks.A network connection.if its file sharing a local network over your lan, or if its a game, social networking site on the internet its the internet.A network card connnects to a router (wireless or LAN) the the router connects to other computers or a modem (intranet-telephone interface)
Wireless is a type of LAN, it has not replaced it. For some wireless is a simpler technology and certainly easire to install, however the wired lan is both faster and more secure. A wired lan also generally provides more management capabilities than wireless.
