About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.
Experience B.S. in Computer Science. Buying and selling for years. Assisting friends/family.
Question I have a laptop. I want to know what I would need to do to receive wireless internet. I know there is a way to hook my laptop up so I can intercept a signal from whoever is close by. But I need to know what to buy for this.
Answer if you bought the computer within the last 2-3 years, it should have internal wireless (it started to become mainsteam about then). it should just automatically pick up a wireless signal.
if you don't you'll need to purchase a wireless card. office max, staples, best buy, comp usa, etc all carry them. you can get USB adapater or a wireless card that you just slide into a wireless slot on the side of your computer.
this is all the options that Staples has to make your notebook wireless - this should guide you in the right direction as to what i am talking about :) either one (card or usb) works fine - no preference.
