Next message: Joe W: "Re: T&T: Check Fuel Prices Online"
Greetings,
I don't think you can improve the performance or the range of your
"built in" WIFI card. You could purchase another card like the one shown in
your link. The card (802.11b PC Card) in your description, slides into the
little rectangular slot in the side of your laptop. There are other similar
products out there, you just have to research out the best one. The built in
card in your laptop just stays there.You just won't use it.
Respectfully,
Ken Williams
