Installation of a missing mini PCI WiFi card in the Satellite 2450 101?

My Satellite s2450-101 seems devoid of a WiFi card.

There is no mention of such a card in the adapters in device Manager\Network, which lists the following three elements: 1) 1394 Net adapter MAC bridge Miniport) 2 and 3) Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
The Wireless Communication switch on "on" does not have the led lights up.
By pressing Fn + F8, that should turn the wireless LAN has no effect.

Responses to the following would be much appreciated:

The laptop S2450-101 comes equipped with a mini PCI WiFi card in standard, or not?

If so, how can it be activated?

If it is not the case, how can we install such a mini-PCI card? The laptop is more two years and more under warranty.

Sincere thanks.

Hello

I found the info that this unit is ready WLAN and is attributed to the WLAN option in option. Check please the Device Manager and see if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapter. If this is not the case, the device is without wireless network card.

Let us know if the card is on board and we can write once again how the card must be activated.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that the WLAN slot is placed under the keyboard. There is also the antenna cables (black and white cable). Update is not a problem, and you can only do so at your own risk of course. ;)

Unfortunately I put t know exactly what WLAN card is compatible. If you want you can use the external solution. It is much easier.

    Is it possible to change the wifi card internal of my computer toshiba laptop u200-163, I can change the hard disk?

    Thank you.

    If you use the compatible WiFi card I see no problem, but in my opinion, there is no reason for this. I guess your laptop comes with WLAN card 802.11a/b/g and using the g standard data transfer is fast enough and you avoid any problems if you use your laptop for work.
