The laptop does have an ethernet connection port to be able to hard wire to the internet. You don't need to have wifi. You also can get a router to connect your internet cable modem to which would then become your own wifi. Check with your local electronics store e.g. Best Buy for assistance.

Not a silly question at all. I was asking the exact same thing. Lot's of info about connecting to a cell phone, tablet etc., but not a word about printing to a desktop wirelessly. They really need to clarify this on the product info page. Thanks to all those who answered....a fellow confused Amazon shopper

I just ordered a Toshiba L645D-S4036, and the specs say there is no port to plug in a modem. Does this mean that I will have to get wi-fi installed in my home in order to use the internet on my laptop when I'm at home? Sorry to sound ignorant--I am!

This printer does not have networking capabilities. You will need to purchase the SL-M2625DW in order to have that feature, though it can be configured to work on the network through USB and an Airport Express or Airport Extreme.

My son's does have wifi hookup and he is able to print wirelessly. We did not get the cd burner. Great computer. He also hooks up to his new television, wireless. He loves it.

Just received the MX860 printer and have to install on a new Windows 7 machine. Anyone who has installed this printer on a Windows 7 machine and can provide details of how they did it would be appreciated. I have downloaded all the Windows 7 drivers/software to a thumbdrive. What next? Thanks in advance.

Previous comments are correct regarding the machine's software and drivers for WiFi. Mine is connected via cable and can access Netflex etc. if desired. Short of WiFi, the VBR120 is great!

hey,thank you for your advice. first of all i have a linksys router so that would be a problem. seems like these deals are not that good and too much for a computer newbie such as me :)

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

You have to order an IEEE 802,11a/g Wireless Interface Type L with it. It costs an additional $350. So far I have found the printer to be a very good one without any unusual issues. The print quality is excellent. I did not buy the wireless as I did not need it.

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

No, internet not required but you will need a wireless router connected to your computer to send the wifi signal to the printer if you want a wireless connection. If you don't want or need it to be wireless, you can hook it up to your computer with a usb cable that connects to your printer. The printer has a special plug in port for this purpose, and is not a standard usb port, instead it is one made for canon printers....easy to find.

I am wondering this as well. Seems to be a make or break aspect of what otherwise seems a great laptop. I have been scouring the web to see if users have found a fix to the reported poor wifi signal. Any word from Asus would be appreciated.

Its ok lol, the wifi adapter comes pre-installed on the motherboard. All you need to do is run the included wires from the WiFi adapter to the antennas (also included). It has everything you need to make the computer wirelessly compatible. Of course you'll need your home wifi network to connect to, but that's it! Both the Wifi and the motherboard work wonderfully. I've been very happy with mine.

I just ordered 2 of these for my sons for christmas. I was under the understanding that they were wifi capable when I ordered them. Now when looking on best buys website where I ordered from, it shows that they have no built in wifi. What am i missing here. Everywhere else shows this model to have wifi. HELP please, I don't want two dissappointed kids on Christmas morning!

I just bought this and no it is not wi-FI ready. But don't worry. You won't have to get a WI FI card. You can purchase a USB wi-FI booster that normally comes with the disc and driver necessary for it to work. And depending on what type of power supply you buy, is really useful. What I recommend is getting a wireless-n USB adapter. Technically called the SL-3504N. But that's a mouthful lol.
