Wireless LAN Realtek 802.11b/g wireless-LAN Means it's wireless ready. "I currently have a belkin G router but its not wireless its hooked up by ethernet cables but it has the little antenna." The Belkin G router IS a wireless router. You should be all set. |

Their customer support is non existent. Some ppl bash HP but I love them. Two towers and two laptops and nothing wrong with any of them. For some reason I group Toshiba with Gateway and Acer. I'm no PC guru tho..... It's like the debate over which make of car/truck to buy. You'll have opinions all over the place. |
