    Have purchased the Targa Traveller Notebook (with wireless Lan)
    however can not connect to any network. I am using a Netgear Rangemax Wireless router. My question is, am I missing something ? is there something that needs to get ticked in setup ? If I insert my brother's wireless laptop card I can surf/email with great speed, so connection seems to be ok.
    I am literally brand new to all this, went to Lidl last week and way we go......
    (until now!!):( :confused::(:confused:

    Thank you for any assistance you can give,
    H.

    WLAN = Wireless Lan (Local Area Network)

    Wireless is heavy on battery if left on and generally(more than likely) the laptop will have a switch to turn it on our off. As to where it is I don't know. On my mum's HP it is on the keyboard. It is called HP wireless assistant. You can activate it form the computer also in control panel but thats only that laptop. You said that it worked with another card so I presume the configuration is ok. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

    If you have “my network Place” icon the desktop
    Click it
    If not goto control panel and it’s there
    Look for “view network connections” click it
    Now you should see wireless network connection
    Double click on it
    All the properties are there
    Good luck

    There might be a key combination like Function Shift to turn WiFi on or off instead of a physical switch.
