To my knowledge, wifi cards are a way for laptops to connect to a wifi network and access the internet etc.

Many laptops have special slots for them to fit in to, but newer models may already have wifi capabilites built in.

I'm not really sure about how it works cus its all way technical, but all you really need to know is that it allows wifi capabilites for laptops.

Answer 5

A WI-FI card enables you to use the Internet/wireless network if you have a wireless router or something like it. They can be bought for Desktops but most Laptops come with them built in. If your computer doesn't have one though i would recommend a usb wireless adapter like the D-Link DWL-G122

Answer 8

if ur laptop doesnt come already installed with an internet card, you can go buy a wi fi card, which will allow you to use the internet anywhere that has internet access. You buy it, put it into ur computer where the wi fi access is, and then set it up. If you dont have a laptop that has the access, then you might have to take it to a computer store and have them install one for you. If your computer is too old, they wont be able to and ur screwed. Most of the newer laptops come with one already, just look on the info for the computer, or ask a sales associate where you bought the laptop from.
