How do I make My Laptop wifi capable..
Guys, I am a complete beginner when it comes to making my laptop wi-fi capable. I have a Dell Inspiron 8200. What do I do (ie what drivers/cards etc) to make it capable of receiving wireless transmissions.
As i said...I am absolutely wi-fignorant. so something in the mould of 'Wi-fi 101" will be a great help.. thanks TVi |
I just bought a standard PCMCIA wireless card and plugged it into my borrowed Dell Latitude C640 and it worked in both the wi fi enabled areas I went to very well, a hotel lounge and an airline lounge. Obviously the software came with it on a disk and the laptop ran Win2K.

Start by searching the shops for a PCMCIA Wi-fi card, provided your running XP the software that ships with that card should be all that is needed.
The card is a simple plug-in and go type so no complicated toolset needed ;) |
Watch the CompuUSA or OfficeMax ads. You can pic up a laptop wireless card for $30 after rebate.

Recently saw a USB dongle, WiFi capable.

Thanks for your help, especially TR4A. I think I should be able to follow the instructions..
