Check your owners guide or documentation if you have it. If your laptop has a wireless card installed, you'll see it in a card slot. If it has one built in, there will usually be a light somewhere on the laptop that indicates whether it is turned on or off, look for one of those. You can also usually tell from the operating system, if there is a wireless device. In Windows, you can go to the device manager (Right click My computer, select properties, click the hardware tab, click "device manager"). In the device manager, look under the Network Adapters portion of the tree, it will be in there.
If your laptop is equipped with a USB port (most are) then virtually any USB wireless adapter will work.
no
If your talking about PS3 then yes but not a PS2 or PS1, it should tell you how in your manual.
Usually try and disable any manufactures wireless utility and use the one that is provided with Windows. The one from the manufacturer can sometimes interfere with the windows one. Next, double check the wireless password. Many times you can log into the router from a wired connection and view the SSID and password. Next delete any connections you have run the connection wizard again. Next Try a different wireless card or a different laptop. Reload the wireless drivers. Uninstall remove and firewall and antivirus (be sure to reinstall maybe use a different brand if this fixed the problem.) Call a technician.
You need to buy a "Wireless Router". They sell them at BestBuy and lots of other places. This is hooked up between your cable and computer. There is also some sort of "card" that you have to buy that goes into the laptop (and any other computer within a limited radius that you want to be able to access the internet), unless you know that the laptop already has such a card in it, which it might. If it's a fairly new laptop, it probably does. If you're not sure, find your original purchase invoice (or just get out the specs of the laptop you bought, if you know them or have them written down) and call the company who made the computer, or sold it to you. They can easily tell you. If you buy both parts you're looking at spending a few hundred bucks for the two items.
first u not clear ur question..! ok.. if u want do use wireless internet @ ur local building,u can use but u have to buy one wireless router. then ur laptop can easily access to internet + u can use local network... :-) nearly wireless 250 computer's can access.. if u allow.. router name: Link-sys. or tell me clear question.. don't use shortcut words... :-)
Several possible reasons. First, of course, is that the wireless signal is not there -- you're out of range. Or your wireless card could be turned off -- the wireless light is often a button that turns the wireless networking on and off, or there's a keyboard combo (often Fn/F2) that turns it on and off. Or the wireless access point could be set to not broadcast its name (SSID disabled) -- you need to know the name already, including UPPER and lower case, before you can tell your computer to connect. Or the standards are different: an 802.11n network access point may not see an 802.11g computer, or the computer may be running an out of date variant of the protocol, or the access point may be. And of course the network card itself may have failed; they are built cheap, and surprisingly often the transmitter part burns out.
The easy way to tell is download a program called SIW and run that. It will tell you everything you wanted to know about the hardware and software on your computer. Best of all its free http://www.gtopala.com/
Work may have security enabled. You may need to involve your network administrator to get your computer on the work LAN.
If your laptop has a PCMIA slot, then obviously you can plug the card in. Check the box that comes with what you buy, it should tell you in numerous places what it's compatible with.
Firstly, most modern laptops already have an internal wireless card installed. For other similar devices, which are portable and battery powered, they may or may not include a wireless card, however. In that case, you would have to check the specifications for that device and check if a wireless card can be possibly installed. Most desktops do not have their own wireless card installed by default, but you may purchase either an internal or external wireless card for the desktop. Most computers have ports that allow human interface devices, such as keyboards and mouses to be connected. Laptops, for example, may already have a touchpad and a keyboard built in. If there are no human interface devices, you may get a wireless keyboard and/or mouse, which use radio frequencies or Bluetooth wireless. Lastly, if you want online access, you will need a Wi-Fi or WiMAX card (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi for more information) to connect to a wireless network with an Internet connection.
all depends on which router you brought, I use a dLink and the average range is 20 to 25 feet but it changes.It also depends on your wireless card, Just take your router name and google the specs which will tell you everything or just tell us the type of router you have and we will do it for you.
