wireless computer?

[funkycowgirl]

I want to know how to tell if my computer is wireless capable....can you tell me?

If it has inbuilt wireless it will be listed at Start-programs, look for Intel wireless or such.

Now, mine isn't in the start-programs at all.

Press your Windows key (between alt and control) and Pause/Break together (top right of keyboard).

Click 'hardware' then 'device manager'.

Scroll down the list and click on 'network adapters'.

If you see something like 'wireless 2200 BG' you are wireless capable.


If you don't have the Windows key - Start - My Computer - View System Information (left hand panel) will bring up the
Hardware tab.

If yours is a desktop, there will be an aerial sticking out the back if it is wireless capable.

If it's a laptop look for a wifi logo on one of the many stickers they plaster all over them if you haven't taken them off, or look carefully for a wireless on/off switch.

If it's a desktop then no it isn't wireless, well I've never seen one come as standard with wireless,

Cue everyone posting links to desktops with wireless as standard :)

Cue- My 4 year old Medion desktop came with wireless installed.
