What is Wi-Fi and how do I use it with my wireless PC Card?

There are regular wireless networks which are usually based on the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g wireless standard and will work with your regular wireless card in your notebook. You can setup a wireless network in your home using this kind of equipment. \n\nThen there are Wi-Fi networks which are actually wireless broadband networks. Some cities use these for their municipal workers so they can access the Internet and city resources from their vehicles. This service is being extended to consumers in some areas for a price so you can get wireless Internet access from your laptop all over the city. Another example of Wi-Fi is Verizon's broadband wireless service. In theory, you can get wireless Internet access from your laptop almost anywhere in the country even while you're on the road using a special PC card supplied by Verizon. The service cost around $50 a month and the card costs about $200 I think.

Do you even have a wireless card installed?  Is this a notebook or pc?  To setup a wireless network you need to have a wireless access point or a wireless router.  If you have one of those, then you can setup a wireless network.

Are you saying that the laptop does not already have a wireless card in it.  Most new laptops sold are already equipped with 802.11g (aka 54g) wireless cards.  I would check your manual or specs to make sure that it doesn't already have a card in it.  If it doesn't read on.\n\nIf you want to use WiFi in your home then you will need a router.  My personal favorite is anything by Netgear but any basic WiFi router should serve your needs.\n\nAs I said above if your laptop doesn't already have a WiFi card, then you will need to get a PCMCIA or USB wireless adapter.\n\nI would bet though, that the new laptop does already have a WiFi adapter in it.

You can purchase any wireless PCMCIA card for that particular laptop. What you are looking for is a thin, credit card sized device that will allow you to connect to the internet. \n\nSome companies to consider:\n\nLinksys\nNetgear\nD-Link\nBelkin

Install a WLAN (802.11G) PCI wireless card. You can buy the wireless card along with Wireless Router.

Good luck

YOU make it up, store it on the access point (or wireless router) then use the same one on your wireless cards.

If the wireless card is internal, your stuck, unless the manufacturer has a provision for an external antnna. If your using a PCMICIA wireless card, choose a new card like the Proxim, or Seano. Theses cards have a provision for an external antenna. Additionaly, to a certain extent everything has to be equal, i.e., if the Router has a 'huge' antenna-It makes no difference. The Laptop can 'here' it, but can't talk back.

No, you can't. Your wi-fi card is specifically and only designed to talk to other network aware devices, a mouse isn't a network device so this will simply never work.

Goto control panel then system and open it.\nam assuming you are using Windows XP.. if so goto Hardware and then device manager. Under Network cards you would see your wireless card listed, note down the name of the card along with the model no. goto the manufacturer's website and check out there support section for updates.\nAlternatively you could goto your laptop manufacturer's website and look for any updated device drivers. You would need the exact model no of your laptop to do so. You would find it under the laptop.\n\nHope this helps.

Depends. Do you want wireless or cable?\n\nCable: Get two network cards and plug one in each computer, connecting it to the motherboard. Then a crossover cable to connect the computers using wires.\n\nWireless: You will need one wireless router (cable or ADSL (BT, etc)) and two wireless usb adapters.\n\n:-)
