    Laptops and networks


    How is it my laptop with Windows 7, has no trouble connecting wirelessly with my network, is there an wireless adapter built into the motherboard or is it an installed card.
    Laptop is Acer 5720.

    I need to find the answer so I can add it to a remote home-build PC, which despite trying two different wireless adapters that work with Vista, will not work with Win7.

    I'd be happy to even change the motherboard if that will solve the problem.

I picked a RedFox WizBook W1130i around 3-4 years back for my Mom and it came with Windows 7 Home Basic. Until now, it still does everything she needs to do (basic browsing, streaming, word processing, spreadsheets, etc.) and I keep it maintained. I'm thinking of picking a RedFox Notebook PC for...
