Thanks in advance. yes, Comcast is the company that is coming to do this for me.

Wireless Card? My computer is hooked up wirelessly to my DSL gateway using a D-Link USB dongle. However, the dongle always maintains a perfect signal strength but occasionally cannot access the Internet until I run Internet Explorer's Network Diagnostic tool. These problems occurred at random and are very temporary; no other wireless device in the house has problems maintaining its connection.

My DSL gateway is currently set to 802.11b/g with a maximum wireless transmission speed of 54mbps. I'm not looking for something too expensive, just something that can match that speed and still keep a good connection all of the time. I'm currently thinking of getting a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adaptor, advertised at $40...is this a good buy? What do you recommend? Thanks for the input.

Broadcom Wireless Card not found in Vista help please? I have a compaq v6000 laptop running Vistaand was using the wireless network yesterday and when I restarted my computer the wireless card disappeared from the device manager. It's like the card was never there. I downloaded the drivers for my computer off the HP website but still won't show up in device manager. Computer says I need to install a wireless card. I know its a broadcom wireless card just not which one. I contacted the Compaq and they said I would have to send it in for repair, that its either the motherboard or the wireless card. They said it would take ten days to get the computer to them and back to me and with college I don't think thats possible. Computer is still under warranty. Is there a way for me to fix this. Problem seems to have solved itself. Like magic, haha. I had a friend look at the computer and he started the computer in safe mode and then restarted. When the computer restarted it found the hardware and reinstalled the drivers itself. Anyone know why it would act like this and should I send it in for repair anyways? Thanks. After I restarted the problem came back. Computer is Compaq v6120us. I contacted the place I bought the pc and they told me its a problem with these computers and that the motherboard is the problem and I will have to send it in for repair. I'm in college so that is out of the question for now. Would my best option be to buy a usb or pci adapter until I can send it in.

Chossing wireless card or USB wireless device / express slots? Looking at laptop computers yesterday and knowing I will need a wireless connection as I will travel with it; I noticed there are wireless cards and also wireless USB devices available (Linksys among others). What is the differance if any (I don't mean where they go into the computer but whay else).? Why would you choose one over the other? Also, do all laptop computers still have PCMIA slots where the wireless card would go. Some laptops had something called express slots. What are these and are they basically a PCMIA slot that does more? Will wireless cards still fit in them? Thanks.

Belkins wireless card better than built in card of 802.11b/g? I have a toshiba laptop (satelite A135-S7404) with a wireless integrated 802.11b/g wireless card. However I live in college dorms and my friend said I can use his router for internet service, the problem is I cannot pick up the signal in my room. I can go outside my room by about 7 feet and get a perfect signal from his linksys router. The guy in the next room can get a perfect signal from my friends router also (he lives like 7 feet to the left of me). So you can see I need a few extra feet of wifi signal strength. I went to walmart and found a belkins wireless external card for 49.99 that claims to go 1000 feet. Would this card be more powerful than my current card? It does not say on my laptop how far my wifi card picks up so im wondering which one is stronger. Thanks

wireless card or wireless dongle? Ive just upgraded to vista (my xp got corrupted and nearly secrewed up my bios) and my wireless PCI card is no longer compatible, as the manufacturers dont make vista drivers for their products, only up to XP. Ive been looking at a new way to get my desktop computer hooked up to the internet and network and thought about a usb dongle instead. They are cheaper, easier to install, can be placed anywhere so long as you have a usb extension cable (which i do) and my computer is a very high performance gaming computer, so the dual video card heats up the network card and significantly lowers its performance, so this problem would be irradicated. however i know nobody who has ever used one, so im wondering if you get a connection thats as good as a wireless card with the dongle , anything else anybody with experience would like to add and if you can get firewire dongles instead of usb, as firewire is a hell of alot quicker than usb

3G wireless cards for the new macbook pro, probably verizon card? All of my family uses verizon wireless for phones. Maybe that helps in my question. On http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/wireless.html, it says "3G wireless cards. No Wi-Fi? No problem. With the ExpressCard slot in MacBook Pro and a 3G wireless card, connect to the Internet anywhere there's a cellular network." Well that sounds great! Only problem is is that how do I get a wireless card, and do I need to buy a plan? Thanks. LINKS ARE GOOD!!! Link to where I found the "3G wireless cards. No Wi-Fi? No problem. With the ExpressCard slot in MacBook Pro and a 3G wireless card, connect to the Internet anywhere there's a cellular network." http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/wireless.html "Yes. You need a plan. If you go to Verizon's website, they will offer free ExpressCard modems for your laptop which allows you to connect to their 3G network. The plan price is $60/month for unlimited usage." $60 extra off of your phone plan??

What wireless card should I use that works best with my Linksys wireless router? I have a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps Model WRT54G broadband router. I am going to be hooking it up between my roommates desktop computer and our comcast cable box downstairs so that I can get wireless on my desktop computer upstairs. I know how to hook it all up, but I don't know anything about buying a wireless card. I have been looking at this one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/LINKSYS-G-802-11G-USB-CARD-ADAPTER-FOR-WIRELESS-ROUTER_W0QQitemZ190166535876QQihZ009QQcategoryZ45002QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem Is this a good deal?

And I don't trust myself or a salesperson enough to walk into a computer store and get information that is not based on their own commission. Thanks so much again!

Does a wireless card guarantee wireless internet? My laptops wifi was not working and i reformatted my computer. My friend who is smart with cpus reformatted my cpu and installed all the drivers and tried everything with F4 Fn and still my wi-fi dont work He tells me my Wi-fi wont turn on which means it is broken. I do not want to go to no technician because that will probably cost me a lot of money. Can i just buy a dell wireless card for my Dell inspiron 6000 and it will work just like that? My computer had Wi-fi installed when i first got it. It is called Intel Pro Wireless 2200. I see some on ebay for about 20 dollars shipped these wireless cards. Will my laptop's wireless work assuming i get a wireless card? Are those guaranteed to work since it says it is compatible with dell inspiron 6000? Fixing my Wifi would probably cost 100+ since i have to go to a technician.

My Wireless Card Keeps Dropping Connection. Why? I have a D-Link Wireless card that connects to my D-Link wireless router, and it can connect just fine, but any where from 5 minutes to 5 hours later, the connection will drop, but I will have done nothing to the router or wireless card in that time. Tech support has been no help at all, so can some one please help? Side note- Both the wireless card and the router have the latest firmware updates.

Installing an INTERNAL wireless card.? I have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop. My wifi suddenly broke somehow... its not functioning. I then bought a wireless card for it b/c people here said go get one since wifi dont work. However, i found out it was an INTERNAL wireless card i bought online so i cant just plug it in like i can with an external wireless card which is much easier from what i heard. I am horrible with computers and never can install anything. I have a friend who is very smart with computers. I called him now but he didnt respond but i will get to talk to him tomrroow. My quesiton is ... is installing an internal wireless card a real hassle and real hard? I know you have to open the laptop up to do this. How long does it take to install the internet wireless card in assuming you know how to do it? I am giong to ask my friend tomrorwo to help but i just want to know does it take long? thanks everyone.

My Sierra Wireless PC Card keeps disconnecting....why? Please help: I have comcast high speed internet and a wireless card (Sierra 881). I have issues with my wireless PC card disconnecting on me. I mainly use the PC card when I'm traveling, but when at home I'll use Comcast. My problem is that when I'm at home and I try to use my card, it will disconnect on me after about 20 minutes. What is the problem? Is this due to me using a wireless network through comcast and then a wireless network through AT&T? Should I change me network settings? Is there a discrepancy there? I love my comcast internet but this pc card is giving me hell. lol..any suggestions?

Does an external wireless card work better / get a stronger signal than an internal wireless card? I was traveling recently, and normally, I can get wireless connectivity via my laptop and its internal (I'm guessing Intel's) Wi-Fi card. However, the other day in Georgia, I wasn't able to get any signal, despite the fact that people around me were surfing the web just fine. The guy next to me suggested that maybe an external wireless card would work, and lent me his to try for that moment to test. Lo and behold, it worked!! So, the question is, was he just lucky with his external wireless card hypothesis, or, is it a general fact that external cards generally work better than internal cards? Many thanks in advance for your input!! :)

Wireless card and wireless router for laptop? I just got a new Dell Inspiron 1520 notebook equipped with a Dell wireless network card. I do not, however, have access to wireless internet. Does this mean I have to purchase a wireless router in order to wirelessly connect to the internet? Or must I have my notebook hooked up to a modem at all times? I'm confused about the whole wireless internet concept! Any help would be great!! Thanks!

Which wireless card is faster? A Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter or Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Nets?? I bought a ACER notebook computer from Circuit City in November '06, and I barely got this Gateway Notebook from school on 3/13/07. The ACER Notebook has the Broadcom wireless card, and the Gateway has the Intel wireless card? Which of those two is faster? I am asking because, the Gateway computer is faster with my wireless network than the other one.

Extended wireless card for laptop? I have looked around at other questions on here about how to increase wireless range, but they all go in circles. I read one site that was posted about making an antenna out of a coffee can, and although interesting, I didn't understand at all how that correlated to being connected to a computer..or internet...so it didn't help me much. Other people talked about increasing range of wireless internet by putting range extender antennas on the router. But what I'm wondering is if you can increase the range from a laptop, not the router. Is there some sort of wireless card that you can use as a range extender? I've looked on e-Bay and bestbuy.com for something but they are all cards for the use of having wireless in general if your laptop doesn't have it already. Am I missing something?

Wireless card not recognized? I had to reinstall WIndows (XP) all over, as my registry got messed up from viruses. Well, I had a nice network going on before, with my laptop and desktop connected through wireless network. I have a Dlink router and card. Now, I even downloaded drivers, but the card has no lights. Internet is working through wireless router and hard wire. Is it just a matter of configuration or my card has a connection problem somewhere? In Network Connections, the only connection showing up is hardwired, I tried to add another one, but I can't seem to do it.

wireless card signal varies? I have a dell inspiron which picks up several wifi connections - it uses intel pro/wireless 220bg card. My older 2 computers however are only picking up one connection - the strongest. Both are b / g enabled So I wish to replace my wireless cards with one similar to my dell Intel card. how do I pick them so they will work just as well? Are there some brands that are better then others? hey, no need to pass judgment as to why I need to connect to several networks. I could just be trying to share my connection with someone.

Is it my wireless card, or my router? Recently I've been experiencing heavy lag when I'm on my wireless connection. If I plug into the router and use a physical link, there's no lag, but if I go wireless on the same router, I lag really badly. Is there any way I can tell whether or not this is my routers wireless capability or my actual wireless card itself? Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG is my internal wireless card My router is a Linksys Wireless-B (BEFW11S4) Thanks guys n gals.

Wireless card problem? My mother's Dell E1505 laptop is setup for wireless with her DSL connection. The connection speed is extremely slow compared to when she's hardwired to the the Linksys router (820.11g). Could this be an issue with her wireless card? Or is it something else? Here are the upload/download numbers: wired: download speed 1.31 Mbps upload speed 327 kbps wireless: download speed 439 kbps upload speed 150 kbps As you can see, there is a big difference in download speed from wired to wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I expect it to be slower...I have degradation in speeds with my own machine at home (I have cable), but not to the effect that my mother has. It's almost worse than dial-up just when trying to get to yahoo.com. I'm going to check to see if it's an interference problem. I realize the connection is going to be worse when using wireless (it is with my cable modem), but it should not be as slow as it is. Going from 1.31 Mbps to 439 kpbs is like 1000% worse.

Wireless/Ethernet card? My ethernet/wireless card in my laptop just decided to die on me. I literally can't connect to the Internet through wireless OR ethernet cord. It was built in, so I'm not sure what kind it is. I need a new one, but I'm pretty much useless when it comes to this stuff. I looked on Amazon for some possibilities, but a lot of them seem like you need to have the same brand of router. Like I said, I'm pretty useless at this kind of thing. Can anyone recommend me a good wireless/ethernet card that I can use to connect to the closest available network? Thanks!

Network Card(Wireless-G) not able to detect any connections, but computer next to me can?!? Recently I restored my computer and had to reinstall the drivers for my wireless card. I have everything going and the light on the hardware glows green but for some reason I can't find a connection anywhere! I know a connection exists because the computer next to me is connect to it, hence being able to type this up. I recently changed slots it was in but reinstalled them once I did, but still nothing. Anyone have any ideas how to get the card or software to pick up signals? Card: Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter model number WMP54G

Belkin Wireless Card installation? I installed the Belkin Wireless Utility but I accidentally clicked no when I was prompted yes/no to keep installing the actual card(windows logo testing). Now when I click on the Utility it says No Adapters. How do I install the actual card now. I think when I said no it automatically stopped asking me to install the card. It would say "New Software Found" but not anymore. How do I install the card NOT the utility. P.S. I did mess up by putting the card itself in before installing the utility with the provided disc.
