How to know if my laptop has wireless internet?

by admin on Feb.17, 2009, under IT News

I need to know if my laptop has wireless internet. It is a Toshiba and it looks kind of old. So I don’t really know how to tell.

Take a closer look at your laptop. Do you have a wireless switch somewhere on the side? Does the LED by the switch light up if you turn on the switch? If it does, you have an internal wireless card installed.

Here’s another way. Take a look at the device manager. All laptop hardware components are listed in the device manager.

Right click on My Computer, click on Manage, click on Device Manager. Click on the “+” sign by the Network adapters. Do you see an entry related to the wireless card adapter in there?

If you do, you have an internal wireless card installed.
