What wifi equipment should I buy to match this laptop? Can anyone suggest a good buy for this?

Hi, For the price, the Netgear line of 54mbps routers should work just fine. There are faster WIFI protocols, but unless your internet is that fast you won't use but 10% of the netgear's bandwidthh (edit: fixed)

Hi Wilson! The wifi is built in on this machine. You wont need an additional device. Please remember to choose us as your seller. Thanks!

I just bought this and no it is not wi-FI ready. But don't worry. You won't have to get a WI FI card. You can purchase a USB wi-FI booster that normally comes with the disc and driver necessary for it to work. And depending on what type of power supply you buy, is really useful. What I recommend is getting a wireless-n USB adapter. Technically called the SL-3504N. But that's a mouthful lol.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

If your machine has a WiFi adapter-card, in other words WiFi capable-this will work. If you don't have a dvd/cd drive to download from the included driver disc-I believe you can download the driver from online...

Should be as long you install proper Intel Driver and if you are going tether other device like Hot Spot mobile, then you need to make sure defined right Hot Spot SSID to connect the Laptop WIFI Card.

You are correct that the WiFi is built in and it works very well. No additional hardware required.

The wifi works well. Adding an external drive should not be a problem either.

Sorry about any typo. By the way, for now, you could just get any of the name brand AC1750 that is on sale. asus, netgear trendnet are all good. Don't get the AC1900 as the AC is still running at 1.3Gbps, just like the AC1750. Also, make sure you have the wireless adapter to go with the AC router. Get the one with the highest AC speed, I think it is something like 867Mbps with USB3.0, unless your computer comes with AC wireless adapter already (you may still check with the manufacturer on how fast the wireless adapter goes).

The one I bought is not wireless. Also, WiFi requires purchase of dongle or Ethernet cable.

Hey Ben...not to get too technical..but they seem to increase the signal in proportion to the 2.4 GHz..the operative word here is "proportionately"..I think you will be happy with the results and the price is right...check out the Asus routers..Net gear is nice..but Asus has the edge..and Asus support is second to none...good luck..Jim

Check this link out, It explains all acceptable wifi cards for your laptop. It sure looks like the 5300 is there. http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/PDFs/Thinkpad_t400_and_t500_datasheet.html

The antenna is better on this adapter than the laptop's built in antenna so yes. However for the best results, it needs to be paired with the asus ac router
