I got a used armada e500 notebook and got a new wireless router and I can't seem to get it to connect to a wireless network. I have a desktop and roadrunner I am using. any help would be appreciated
Does it give you any specific error message? something about being unable to locate a certificate perhaps? also what are you using to manage your connections- windows or some 3'rd party software?

To connect to your wireless router, the router needsits wireless settings to be configured with the SSID, encryption key etc., alsothe wireless cards in all the laptops/computers needs to be configured withthese router's wireless settings. Then the laptops/desktop computers cancommunicate with your wireless router.
I have E500 and it dont have actual button, Insert wireless card open network, click on wireless let connect and away you go surfing the net.Also make sure in internet opitions that wireless is enabled. Hope this helps
it seems like your laptop not have inbuilt wi-fi connection, so you can not use the wi-fi but if you buy a USB wireless adapter or wi-fi pcmcia card so you can use the wi-fi in your laptop.
Get a PCMCIA to USB2 adapter that has an external 5 Volt connection to it to supply the higher current for the wireless adapter. The power can come from the USB via USB adapter cable After installing the adapter, the USB wireless device should be installed just like in any later notebook. The wireless device requires USB2 and high power. and won't work off a powered hub.
hi, any laptop has the capability to use wireless connection, if you connect to that laptop a compatible wireless card and install its drivers( the cd/dvd that comes with the wireless card)
to check if this card is ok or not try using it on some other laptop see if it works there and gets the networks
If you have a router on your broadband, you need a RJ45 network cable - right next to the modem port on your laptop is a network port - this will use the correct cables you need to connect to your router.
If you don't have a router but only a broadband modem, just connect it to the USB port on your laptop, install the software and you should be good to go.
you connect the internet if your broadband router is wi-fi enable. so if you turn on wi-fi on your laptop and you get the signal. than you can access the internet on the laptop too. But for this your router should be wi-fi enable and DHCP must be set properly with in the router. so if you can access the router from your desktop by opening it in browser e.g. http://192.168.1.1 and default login id and password e.g admin you can check the status inside it. I hope this will help you in solving your problem.
Any type of PCMCIA network card should work okay. Go down to Staples, Best Buy or Office Depot and find a decent PCMCIA network card. You should be able to find one for under $50
