Depends on what kind of Wireless Adapter you are using

There's the Wireless Adapter Card

Comes in three styles of connection,

1) PCI Wireless Adapter Card,

2) And PCI-Express x1 Wireless Adapter Card,

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1068811&CatId=2688

PCI-Express x4 style may be out there too.
(I've never bothered to look. I use the USB style)


A Wireless Adapter Card based on the PCI technology, goes in a PCI slot. Generally White in color, but NOT always,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_local_bus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PCI_Slots_Digon3.JPG

A Wireless Adapter Card based on the PCI Express technology, is used in a PCI-Express x1 slot,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PCIExpress.jpg

Top example is a PCI-Express x4 slot.
Moving down, next is a PCI-E x16 slot
Next, PCI-E x1 slot
Next is a PCI-E x16 slot,
and the last one at the bottom is a PCI slot.

Notice they are all Yellow.
Color of connector does NOT matter.

What the expansion slot is, does........

Also there is a USB Wireless Adapter,

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3970955&CatId=2704

This type of Wireless Adapter, plugs into any available USB port on the computer.

Front or back of an eMachines desktop computer, in any available USB port.

Any available open USB port, on an eMachines laptop.

(Or any computer manufacturer)

What is the model number of the eMachines Desktop PC?
Examples, T1090, T2460, W4685, D2246, etc.

I should be able to tell you what motherboard is used inside, and may have access to a link, to the Motherboard Manual.

Lost wifi connection over night

You need to reinstall the wifi drivers.

Alternatively you can use the Microsoft troubles shooter by going to the control panel, picking network and sharing centre, then adaptor settings and selecting your adaptor. Then right click and from the menu, select diagnose. This will reset the adaptor if it has become locked up.

Wont allow me to share my internet , its hooked up to wifi i want to run a cord to my xbox to give it internet possible?

Yes this is possible. You will need to bridge connections between your WIFI adaptor and Ethernet ports.

Navigate to Network connections, select both your WIFI adaptor and Ethernet adaptor. Now right click and select "bridge connections"

Take care!

My Dell Inspiron 560 suddenly stopped connecting to internet through cable-modem.

Onboard adaptor hardware failure? Or is it missing Drivers?
Wireless adaptor - did you install drivers for adaptor? Did you check that WiFi on the adaptor is switched on?


On a side note: I've found that USB 2.0 Wireless N adaptors are the best for connectivity, as they have their drivers on the adaptor, are fully plug and play (Vista/7/8 and even some models on XP). I recommend Transcend (brand name).

Just bought an open box LG LED 42 inch TV. I got a couple questions. 1. What is the recommended way of cleaning the screen? 2. How do I get it to recognize my wifi? 3. Please provide me a link to an...

Hi Rob,
Here's the link to the product support webpage for your TV. The full manual can be downloaded here (Click "Support," and the link is under "Documents" on the right side of the screen.)

http://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video/televisions/LG-led-tv-42LE5400.jsp

From the manual, here's what it says about cleaning:

thomascha103_1.jpg And in order for the TV to recognize your wifi, you'll need to plug in a wireless network adaptor to one of the USB ports. (network adaptor sold separately.) Follow these instructions to establish a wifi connection, and then follow the on-screen instructions for wifi/network settings. Or for details on how to adjust your wifi/network settings, see pages 58 and 59 of the manual.


thomascha103_2.jpg That's kind of hard to read, but it says.
"The LG Wireless LAN for Broadband/DLNA Adaptor, which is sold separately, allows the TV to connect to a woreless lan network.
The network configuration and connection method may vary depending on the equipment in use and the network environment. Refer to the setup instructions supplied with yur access point or wireless router for detailed connection steps and network settings.
1. How to connect
Connect the "LG Wireless LAN for Broadband/DLNA Adaptor (sold separately) to the USB IN 1 or 2 port on the TV.
2. How to use
Select "Network Setting" in the NETWORK menu
After connecting, you can use the NETCAST menu"

Best of luck!

Blue screeen with error on RT2500USB for wusb54gv4

Driver problem. Go into control panel and delete the adapter drivers. Remove the wifi adapter Then re-boot. I suspect the BSD (blue screen of death) was a result of a driver problem. If you have another computer that you can get on the internet with, go to the manufacturer website and download a driver. If you can get one, install the driver BEFORE plugging in the device and wait for the install program to prompt you to plug in the device. If you can't download a new driver, try plugging in the device again and see what happens. You need to avoid the BSD.
