I was looking at this computer on HSN but I don't know if it is wireless internet ready or not. If I buy this computer will I need to buy something else with it to use WiFi?

  1. Nope.  Np mention of wireless adapter:

    Network Interface: 10/100 Mbps built-in Ethernet LAN

    Just wired.


  2. wifi does not come stock in desktops only laptops and plus that computer is not goin to run that great anyways. it doesn't have alot of memory or capibilty. pretty much youre paying for the name and look but in a computer that doesn't matter its all about perfomance if oyu want a good computer go to www.tigerdirect.com look for a computer with at least a dual core(preferably quad core) intel chipset with at least 2GB of ram cause 1GB aint gonna cut it for vista. vista is gonna use anewhere from 700 to 900 megabytes just to run the OS which doesn't leave room for any programs to run especially games. but you will not find a computer with wifi built in. that computer is a peice of c**p any ways it just looks pretty

  3. A quick look showed a modem and a NIC but no wireless NIC. You would have to buy a wireless NIC. They are cheap.

    Cheers

  4. No you will have to purchase an additional card to get Wi-Fi to work. However for a PCI Card Slot Wi-Fi NIC your only talking about $20USD at your local Wal-Mart or where you shop. They're also fairly easy to install just follow the instructions.
