no. this would produce wireless for the desktop. You will need this for the laptop as well as a wireless router. You would also need a internet connection the location the router is installed

You're looking for an access point. Out of the box this NIC (network interface card) was not meant to be an access point. That being said you could most likely turn your desktop into an access point broadcasting out of this NIC - do some searching / reading on turning your desktop into an access point. good luck

No. This will provide a computer with a wireless (WiFi) connection to a wireless router or access point.

It has USB ports on it so you should be able to plug in a USB receiver for wireless devices with no problems.

No this card is for laptops not desktops, your computer need a mini wireless card with external antennas

Yes, you can connect it using a wired connection or if your PC is Bluetooth compatible, that will work even better.

Yes....most likely you would be able to hook up wirelessly.....when our set arrived we just hooked up to our home network and it found both of our desktop PC's automatically...we can look at videos and listen to music that is stored on our pc's.....also our router has usb port that you could plug a flash drive into and the tv found it also.. As stated in earlier answer having hdmi port on your laptop would be nice...but other options are available.

You should be able to...works with my laptop. But WHY would you want a PC running on WiFi? Instead of just hard-wired??

No not wirelessly, this is an amplifier, you have to plug audio cords into it.

No. You have to hook it up by its ethernet port to begin with, and then you can use either that or wireless in the future.

It can be connected to a desktop computer using USB cable if you don't use WiFi.

Yes, Karen. The AE2500 will provide a wireless capability to your desktop. Make sure it meets the minimum system requirements.

I've used it on my desktop. Havn't tried the laptop as it has wi-fi, but I think if it has a UBS port it should work with a hot spot.I may try it in a day or two with my wi-fi turned off.JR

Not positive, but if you have your desktop connected directly to the adapter and not the wifi then NO!

If you have a WIFI setup for other devices, this will make any computer wireless. Only for one device.

yes. I used it on my old desktop that only had a hook up connection and it worked great. My desktop now has a wireless connection thanks to this. I love it.

The desktop does not come with a wireless N card built in. In my case, I used a wireless N USB adapter, but it would be best if you are able to directly connect an ethernet cable from your router. Something to note is that although the wireless adapter worked perfectly fine if connected to the front USB ports, for some odd reason, connecting to the back USB ports would result in some occasional interference.

It won't plug directly into your laptop. You'll need a type of converter. To be honest I'm very disappointed with this wireless system...get something else.
