You could also consider a USB wifi adapter. You could plug it directly to the USB port or use the extension cable so you could move the adapter for best signal reception. This one is available in many PC stores in your location.

Depending on the model of your laptop, you should have a small slot on the side of your laptop that is called a PCMCIA card slot. You purchase an addon card for the PCMCIA slot for your wireless connection. You might also already have a built in wireless adaptor within your laptop, but that also depends on the age and model of your laptop. The cards that go into the PCMCIA slot will give you better range in most cases compared to the built in ones. Most wireless router companies also make corresponding cards for their routers, companies like Linksys, Dlink, Belkin, and others.
If you choose to go with a PCMCIA card add on, I recommend Linksys, Belkin, or Dlink over most of the other brands on the market today as they have the best quality and are more widely compatible with other brands. Netgear is probably the lowest end on the market especially the USB style connection. Most of the other brands also offer some sort of USB type connector also if your laptop does not have the PCMCIA card slot.

Just get a wireless card and insert it into the available slot.
If you are looking or instructions and already have the card:
Install the drivers first (not the card). Insert the CD - do not let it auto install everything - install just the drivers for the card.
Shut the laptop down. Insert the card.
Restart and let Windows find the drivers and auto install.

it is a threat your abode windows as much as date and the hot drivers did no longer agree including your hardware. i've got had the comparable take place to my computing device minus the symbols. verify the driving force dates to your sound card and your on the spot adapter and notice in the event that they are very contemporary (interior previous few weeks) in the event that they are attempt finding out on the "rollback driving force" option and reboot. If that doesn't artwork attempt connecting to the internet with the aid of LAN and downloading the drivers from Acer website and reinstalling the hardware. If that doesn't artwork verify to work out if everyone else can connect on your WiFi it is a router subject jointly with something else. reliable luck!

You don't, you plug it into an external slot designed for that purpose.
