Compaq presario 1250, Wireless internet

My mother has a Compaq Presario 1250 that she bought in 99 and has not used since 2001. She would like to use as wireless. What can I do to help her. I cannot even hook it up to my network, the phone jack is for an RJ 11 I think versus the RJ45 that is with my Lynksis router. I also have a dynex wireless router. She would like to take on trips and use at hotels with the wireless that they offer. She wants to be able to go on line and also check emails and so forth. Do we just need a card? Please help, thank you.

You need to buy a pcima card if there is a slot on the side of that laptop to fit it. if not but it does have a usb port you can purchase a wireless stick... that plugs into the usb port. very compact, about the size of a usb flash drive.

How or what do i need to connect internet i have router (2wire) from AT&T for wireless laptop but now i bought a desktop an compaq presario 5000 with windows 98

You need a Wireless adapter for the Compaq desktop. But with Win98, it will be almost impossible to find one that will work in your Compaq. Everything out there requires at least WIN XP.

Best thing to do is to use an Cat5 Ethernet cable and connect the Desktop to the 2Wire.

Wireless internet on compaq presario 6425 tu

Do you know for sure there is a wireless connection in the area you trying to connect, Wireless internet isn't accessible every were and when it is available it could be protected by a security pass phrase. The only way to really get full use out of your wireless internet is to go to a company that sells the wireless internet cards

http://reviews.cnet.com/adapters-nics/panasonic-hd-plc-ethernet/4505-3380_7-31940393.html

Follow that link and read about it, i link you to the panasonic test results, but there are many many more manufacteres out there.
Its verry verry easy to use, its not expensive, and you wont need any separate cables.

Good luck to you
