Wirelss built-in... need card?
Hi.
As I am new to the wonderful world of wireless internet, I apologize in advance for what may be a rather rudimentary query.
I'm a single mom and have a hard-wired network setup that is working fine, but as my daughter is now the proud owner of a new laptop, I would like to switch things over to wireless.
The laptop literature states that it has built-in wireless... 802.11 b/g. Now comes the question... With a wireless router, will I need an add-on card to receive the signal or will the built-in 802.11 b/g do the job? If a card is not required, will the built-in work with any router (Linksys, D-link... etc.)? At school, how will my adughter connect to the wireles system (or any other external system)?
One other thing, to avoid any (possible) conflict, would I have to remove the existing hard-wired router software (at home) or can it just stay there should I ever again need to fire it up?
I realize these are a lot of questions, and as such, I thank one and all for your time, effort and assistance.
-Danielle.
