There is a wireless card on it. You can use the Connect to option of your Start menu to search and connect to a wireless network connection in a public wi-fi hot spot such as starbucks. If you need to set up your home wireless network, you can use your own wireless router connected to your modem and set the network ID and password by connecting your laptop to it and open the web page with the URL of the default IP address of your wireless router and configure the settings. Use DHCP on your wireless router and your laptop TCP/IP configurations (Shown as Automatic IP address). Then you can use the connect to item in the start menu to connect to the network of your wireless router (according to the network ID you just configured). If there is a switch on your laptop to turn on wireless card, move it to turn on wireless. See the edge and the bottom of your laptop to check about that. Some helpful links:

    Desktop wont connect to internet but laptop will

    Is your cable modem also a wireless router?

    From my search on it, it is not a wireless router.

    This means you need to attach a hub or a wireless router to your cable modem so that more than one computer can connect to the internet simultaneously.

    Go out and buy a wireless router. Connect the wireless router to your cable modem.

    Connect your desktop to the wireless router with an ethernet cable.

    Then you should have internet on your desktop.

    Let me know if this helps. Give me a good rating and vote for me please.

    How to connect acer as5920 to internet

    You can connect to the Internet using a cable or DSL modem and connect it to your computer using a network cable or a USB cable.

    Basically you need to see what the Internet Service Providers offer in your location. Beware of the costs of the various plans they offer in broadband speed, their download limits and the penality for exceeding the limits etc.

    Then read the following info to decide what type of Internet access you require.

    If you want to connect to the Internet using a wireless connection then read this.
    What you need first is to install the wireless driver for your wireless card in your computer. If you don't have one you need to purchase a wireless card.

    Wireless connections to the Internet can be achieved by several methods and it depends upon the method of delivery by the Internet Service Provider in your location.
    The most common is by DSL and cable, the modems that are used with DSL and cable connection can have a built-in wireless router. Your computer will require a wireless card to connect to the modem/wireless router and the range is restricted to approx. 100 ft depending where the wireless router is located within the building.

    The laptop's wireless card can be a built-in device or a plug-in device eg a PCMCIA card or a USB device. and these can also connect to a wifi hot spot in locations such as McDonalds. Star Bucks etc.

    There is another method that can connect into the Internet that uses a USB wireless device that connects to a G3 network, bacically a type of mobile transmission and the device is locked into a specific Internet Service Provider. This method gives a wider mobile range (even across states) of connecting to the Internet but usually at a higher cost.

    When you decide which method you choose, you need to consider setting up your wireless network securely to prevent unauthorized access.
