Exactly what do you need in your laptop to ensure you get the strongest connection at the most wi-fi hotspots?

Poppet! Said: 1 I just turn my laptop on, and it works! .

2 A WiFi card. They're all upward and downward compatible with access points. There are some differences in range.

Sometimes and outboard USB WiFi transceiver is preferable to the ones that come built in.

3 Those "letters' are wi-fi standards. The current one is "g" and will work with most hotspots. Most any laptop you buy these days will have built in wi-fi capability compatible with standards up to "g".

The "n" standard is still in progress and hasn't been finalized yet. You can buy "n" standard hardware but it may not be compatible in a year or so when the standard is finalized. I wouldn't invest in it at this point.

There are very few, if any, "n" standard hotspots out there. If your laptop doesn't have built in wi-fi you'll need to invest in an add-on card. Everything on the market these days goes up to "g" at least.

4 BTW..."strongest connection" has to do with signal strength and doesn't have much to do with the wi-fi standard in use. You can buy signal enhancers but the best bet for a bad wi-fi connection is to move the laptop to an area with a better signal. Weak signals aren't usually a problem in small areas like restaurants or libraries but it can be a real problem in big areas like hotels.In a big hotel you can sometimes double the signal strength just by moving the laptop around the room.

Or, if you are lucky, they'll have an Ethernet plug somewhere in the room so you can plug in for a hard wired connection rather than using the wi-fi.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
