Hi,
can anyone recommend a wireless adaptor to enable my mum to use her laptop anywhere in the house. She has just received a BT homehub but her laptop isn't wireless enabled.
Many thanks

Make and model of laptop and Homehub?
(Want to know if it's the latest Homehub and whether the laptop has a PCMCIA card slot).
If both to the affirmative, there is this for £12.
Let us know.
Hi,
laptop is: hp pavilion ze4800
Homehub: BT homehub 2.0 type B (it's the new black one)
Mum bought this adaptor today http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6757728/Trail/searchtext%3EWIRELESS+ADAPTOR.htm
but I cant get it to work.0 -
First of all, that model does have a Wireless Card installed. Have you tried switching it on? There's a switch...
If it no longer works(unlikely), then take that overpriced USB adaptor back to Argos and purchase the PCMCIA card that I have suggested(at one third of the price). It does exactly the same thing as that expensive USB adaptor, but is neater and most importantly, cheaper.0
