Is this computer wireless ready or do you have to install a chip?

There is no wireless wi-fi card installed. There IS a network adapter installed into which you would plug your network cable. You could install a wireless network card in its place. Very simple to do. I bought my computer "used", and it runs like a Swiss watch. Could not be happier, because computers loaded with XP are hard-to-find. Everything is either loaded with Windows 7 or Windows 8.

I bought 2 of these computers one I have hard wired and the other works off the wireless card. It works perfectly no issues and it's already installed so you connect when you're doing the set up!

Yes it is Wifi ready. But I would not buy this computer again. Dell is not a very good company any more. I have had a couple of problems with mine. If you are going to buy a lap top consider a Toshiba. Better quality for your money

Zero built in wireless on this board, I would go with an Intel or an ASUS adapter.

A Wifi module is attached and it is optional for you to attach it or not. I did attach it to the board and it is workable.

Nope, it comes WiFi ready. As long as you have wireless capabilities at your house, you're good to go.

It's totally wireless with the exception of having to plug it in to a power source. You may have to connect it to the router with a network cable just for the initial configuration. It's been a long time since I configured mine.

It will need to be plugged in. The only wireless adapters I can think of are chromechast and the allshare dongle.

The board should come with an Intel Cetrino Wireless-N 2230 card, connected to the mini Pci-e port in the board. You should see two small cables that go from the antenna connectors in the back of the board to the wireless card. If it's not there, You should ask for it.

Actually, I can't remember if it had a wireless option, but I had mine connected with speaker wire. Very easy install per the directions.

no Build in wireless, but it comes with a wireless device that you connect to a header of the mother board.

Hi! You can check your Computer Specifications if you have intel processor then get processor details from intel website. You must have Intel Processor with WIDI Capability, onboard Intel graphics cards and Intel Wifi card installed.

No, it is not but you can purchase a wireless adapter for cheap and it will work. Our tower only lasted a few months before it went out and was cheaper to buy a new one verses getting it fixed. Beware!!

Yes, and you are going to need it. This PC has issues connecting via wireless to the internet.

It has to be hardwired or use with a Ethernet bridge. There are no wireless drivers built into it.
