Hi,

I've had a look and can't find an answer to this.

I'm in an apartment block that has free wireless internet, but my laptop is quite old

and isn't wireless enabled.

What do I need to pick up the wireless signal? Can I buy some sort of USB receiver?

What's the cost involved?

My setup:

Acer Travelmate 243x

2.5GHz Celeron Processor

256MB SDRAM

20GB HDD

Has a network card also.

Thanks in advance,

Brian.

yep, a USB wireless adaptor......about 1,000 baht

USB wireless adapter is your best bet.

Pricerange between 1000 and 1700 Baht for a model that will suit your needs

Thanks very much for that.

I'll pop out this evening and get one.

if you spend the extra few hundred baht and get one that is on the end of a lead rather than one that plugs straight into the laptop , it will allow you to place it for better signal strength or else you will be moving your laptop to achieve the same result.
