On the W does it require anything in addition for wireless access? Is it complete or does it need additional cards/licenses/etc?

The W has built in AP, and once the firewall itself is activated through watchguard you can use it with on additional licenses.

Watchguard requires that you register the device with what they call a feature key. During this process it only allows one node to pass through to the internet, i.e. one computer. But once that is complete, you can configure the wireless portion. It does not require additional licensing. You can also setup optional networks via the wireless as you would with hardwired interface.

Hi, at the first set up, it does need the activation key in order to enable the wifi. so you must register your device in watchguard.

Dear customer, this computer does not have a built in wireless card. It comes with onboard Broadcom® 5754 Gigabit Ethernet which will provide high speed DSL cable connection to internet. This computer can easily be made wireless ready using a WIFI USB adapter which can be found for $10-$15 on amazon.

You'll have to ask the seller about all that. It should come with an access card tho, mine did.

You do NOT need a wireless networking card for this product, i highly suggest though for this mother board when connecting to wi-fi to use a ethernet cable an not a wireless connector.

My 745 does not have a built-in wireless card. However, I have a thumb-nail size USB wireless adapter purchased from Belkin that connects me to my wireless router. Some of the newer routers require a password setup with encryption.

I've yet to see anyone package this as a complete system.. You have to supply memory,hard drive (SSD) and an OS. If you want WIFI that has to be added as well. You can generally follow some of the suggestions to find the needed parts. AMAZON and other vendors.. for folks that just want to run windows with this, providing a package would be a good thing.. Have 2 of these so far love them.. Also will need a power cord.. for whatever reason the power brick that comes with it (similar to a laptop charger) doesn't come with a power cord.

It has built in wireless, must be on the motherboard as I didn't see a separate card for it.

You need to have an available wireless network. Sure. You use an item like this with machines that don't have wifi cards built in. But this particular item is junk and I suggest you buy one that has a better user rating.

yes it does. We are enjoying our system. Does not have wireless capability without additional purchase.

It does not have a wireless card. I have the cable modem hardwired into the PC and a wireless router connected to the cable modem.

I have wireless in my house and the computer came with everything I needed to get it set up.You just input your wireless code in the computer and plug everything in and you are good to go.

It has LAN connectivity built in, but no wireless network card. We have WiFi at home, so I put the WiFi card from the computer I was replacing into it. Really good computer for the price - WiFi cards are cheap, I wouldn't let that stop you from getting it :)

No wifi card needed....my pc doesnt have one either and this work great! You may need to download the installation program from the Realtek website if your adapter didnt come with an installation cd. It's a free download from Realtek if you need it.Good Luck!

it includes the basic licenses. If you need advanced firewall and other resources must be bought apart.

a driver is included that locates the unit and installs fairly easily. i am on windows 7 and can't speak to other OS's but it takes everything in a big house from 2 bars to 4 or 5 with very little fluctuation in the signal strength. linksys does have a good live chat support that you could ask the compatibility questions before purchasing

Yes it does. You must be able to log onto a wireless network. As long as that is available, you're golden. Great computer. Really enjoying it :)

Yes, you need to buy a separate wireless router. I think it is called a W1000. I got mine pretty cheap though.
