seeing the review saying to forget this computer for wireless use makes this worthless to me, what exactly is the connection, capability?

You may have to spend some time with settings, especially if you are using the antivirus software that came with it, but it is fine.

I owned this computer for almost a month. I did not experience any issues with wireless connection during that time. The wireless worked just fine and as expected. The trackpad stopped working though and I had to return the computer.

At first I didn't. But now it is directly connected to my laptop because the WiFi will not connect. My advice is stay away from this machine. You will be sorry you wasted your time, effort, and money on it. Its CRAP

Common problem. I solved the "USELESS MOUSE" by attaching the wifi dongle to to the extention cord it came with and made sure it was visible. There are other 2.4ghz controls that maybe interfering too. Make sure no other wireless apparatus is being used around it. this does not have a bluetooth capability. This is the downside.

I never heard of it working on a wireless pc, but order it and if it doesn't work you can always send it back; but it would be worth the try.

Hi James, it's not wireless. Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

It has a tiny little USB plug. I am assuming that is standard wireless? no computer guru here... :)

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

I think it can be con neglected to an existing wired system. Not sure about wireless. Do not buy this model. Very buggy. If you buy, get newer version

I connected it to a Windows XP PC and it worked without using the setup disk. Are you sure it's not asking for a wireless access point password. Sorry not much help. JB

It doesn't have wireless functionality. You can buy a USB wireless adapter, however.

This laptop came with wireless problem and I didn't know how can I resolve it. I am not having a solution from Dell too, however I didn't have the opportunity in calling them.

Hello, thanks for your inquiry. According to HP support this uses wifi only there is no data connection.

no. I think you'll need a high end model (if it exists). This model is not even wireless.

Sorry, Douglas, I have the wireless disconnected as it is connected via Ethernet cable. I'm out of town and can't check on it.

You always have a connection to the internet unless you turn the computer off or go to hibernation, sleep mode is still connected and will still do updates and such. I am connected within 1 minute after entering my password. I guess I never paid that much attention to that though, and I'll just say that I cant tell that its a wireless connection. It connects just as fast as my gaming rig with a direct connection.never had a problem, and its been a year.
