How to: install a wireless card; Is a router still required after completing this

How difficult is it to install a wireless to my current desktop card, so I don't have to use a router?  I am running Windows Vista.  Is it still possible?

Even if you install a wireless card, you should always have a connection to the Internet. That is done via a wireless router. If you are near a public "hotspot", you may be able to connect through instead of one to have on your home or office.

It is certainly possible to install a wireless card. There are types that require the case to be opened to allow access to the PCI bus. There are types that plug into a USB port available on the case. It is not difficult to install.

I have the feeling you are trying to get rid of the cable between your computer and the Internet router.

    Hello Frank

    You can find the driver wireless on the Toshiba site.
    In addition, you can find all the drivers on the CD tool & utilities. There is an option to install the Wlan driver.
    However, what wireless card is your unit has?
    As I know the laptop was supplied with the card Atheros and Intel.

    If you unit has an Atheros card, you will need to install the driver of customer, nursery and Wireless LAN Wireless LAN. To install it, simply run the Setup file.
    If you have an Intel card go to Device Manager. In the network adapters, you can find the Wlan card. Right-click on the map. Here, you can use the driver option to update or install the driver.

    Hello

    You write on your laptop. Maybe your laptop isn't ready to install a minPCI wireless network card.
    But if it of possible to install so generally the slot card WLan should be placed at the bottom of the unit or under the keyboard.

    Then there must be the card only into the slot and then connect the two WLan antenna cables. As far as I know to connect the white cable to the hand and Brown to the auxiliary voltage

    Sometimes the Toshiba ASP should install the WLan card because of the validity of the guarantee.

    Hello

    First of all, I hope that your camera comes with the wireless network card and the wireless network adapter is listed in the device under network adapters Manager.

    The card must be activated first with wireless switch that you can find on the front of your laptop near the lights on the system (right). When the adapter is enabled using FN F8 key combination to activate the card. When you use the FN keys in the middle of the screen, you will see a small window. When the FN button pressed constantly, whenever using the F8 key the different symbol will be chosen.

    Go to START > Control Panel > network connections. Click with the right button on wireless network connection and choose Properties. Chose the WIRELESS NETWORKS, tab and activate the option called use Windows to set up?

    At this point the available networks are listed. Select view wireless networks. If your WLAN is listed here you must configure the connection if the password is set.

    Try it!

  • Can I install a wireless card in my Satellite P30-141 wireless Bay?

    P30-141 does not come with wireless capabilities and I can't follow all the cables of wireless antennas that must reside in the top cover of the machine, but I would like to know if it is possible to undertake my own installation of a toshiba wireless card? Would anyone out there know of a specific wireless card model / reference number that could be used to do this? I am quiet happy tinkering around inside the machine, like its four years past the warranty I think I already replaced the LCD once, so I'm pretty familiar with the guts, just can't find any documentation on this component getting in this particular machine.

    Any advice would be a great help!

    Hello

    As far as I know the number of units of the Satellite P30 series were equipped with card WLan.
    So I think that the motherboard must contain the necessary PCI WLan mini slot.
    But the question is if this unit was equipped with the WLan antenna.
    If there is no cable antenna (black, white) near the miniPCI location, then this would mean that the WLan antenna is not available and this means that you could not install the card miniPCI Wlan module.
    Without the antenna you will receive no WLan signal!

    Why you n t try a USB WiFi key? It s in use and you don t just any external antenna.

  • How to install the graphics card Nvidia Quadro 4000 in Dell R710

    Hi all

    I read a lot about the installation of the Nvidia Quadro PCIe x 16 card in a Dell R710.  I know what parts I need to order (Dell GP347 PCI-e left Riser), but I don't know how to install the power cable 6 pin required by the Nvidia card.  Where would connect it to the motherboard Dell R710?  Is there a place to connect?  If not, is there some type of power provides I can hang the 6-pin power Cable from Nvidia and power the server?  Any help would be appreciated.

    It's a bit old now, but thought I would answer that I had this work and very happy with the performance!

    In addition to editing card, that I needed, there is NO way to provide the power that the card must provide without a power SUPPLY.  There is a really small box listed on Newegg called "ePOWER EP - 450CD 450W ATX12V/EPS12V modular juice dedicated to the area of graphics card and CPU of power".  Buy and run the GPU power cable to an empty PCI slot at the back of the Dell server.

    I also bought some video cards NVidia Quadro 4000 2 GB GDDR5 PCIe for each of my 5.5 ESXi servers. Also, I left my active integrated video graphics card and it is always primary for my hypervisor.

    Download and install the NVidia ESXi drivers on their site and follow the directions to install.  Reset.

    I use sVGA with my Horizon offices and downloaded a trial version of Sketch-Up to test the 3D.  They have a community of users who post 3D renderings and you can download it directly from the Sketch-up program.  Cruise around and check the performance.

    As a side note, I noticed IE worked worse way by using the GPU when browsing the internet.  Go to settings, advanced in Internet Explorer and has the option at the top of the page "use rendering software instead of GPU".  This change makes IE works as expected.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite l655 laptop and it does not find my more wireless card, it has just stopped working. I think my ex-husband has deleted the drivers.  I thought I could just reinstall the driver to resolve the problem.  Is it possible that my card just died and I need to install a new one.

    Any driver is provided on the support site of Tosh specific to your model.

    It's a little difficult to remove a driver, unless its actually a wi - fi wi - fi card is integrated on the motherboard.

  • How to install a wireless keyboard and mouse in Windows 7

    I installed windows 7 on my neighbor's computer.  I do not have the keyboard and the mouse at the time so I used one of my own (not wireless).  Now, I have a keyboard and mouse, but can not understand how to operate.  The computer is a gateway FX400 XL.  I went to the front door and downloaded a driver entered Gateway 400 series for Windows 7 32-bit system.  I then ran the installation for this driver who really seemed to be for Windows XP.  I shut down the computer, unplugged my mouse and keyboard, and return the computer.  I have a cursor on the screen but it won't move and the keyboard does not work.  I then plugged my keyboard and mouse again and still works.  Any ideas as to what I should try next?

    Hello Willie Wonka 2,.

    Mouse and keyboard wirelesss should have with its own installation disc you need to first install. You should also have a "receiver" which the mouse and the keyboard must be synchronized with to make them work properly. If you look at the bottom of the mouse and keyboard, you should see a button 'tiny' with the words 'connect' next to them. You must move the mouse close the "receiver" and press the button connect the mouse with a blunt object (pencil will usually do). All the lights of the "receiver" will start to Flash when the mouse connects. When they stop flashing the connection generally were filed. You will need to do the same thing with the keyboard.

    Regarding the drivers, you should check the site of manufacturers of keyboard and mouse for the updates.
