I am planning to get a laptop with Centrino M technology, but I know nothing about the WIFI, can anyone please tell me what additional device is needed for WIFI connection, do I need to buy any card or antenna? Do i need to register an account with TMnet (hotspot package)?

QUOTE(Lord_Ashe @ Feb 17 2006, 09:14 AM) Centrino laptops have the WIFI chipset built in, as you'll find out when you see the laptop. Always make sure what's in the package - if you don't know what you're looking for you may get swindled, and that's not cool. Do you mean as long as I have a new centrino laptop, I can just bring it to any hotspot area (which is free) and it will be ready for me to surf anytime?As long as you can see the WIFI logo on your laptop, you should be good to go. As for connection, you don't HAVE to register a hotspot account but it will help if you need to get online a lot and there are no free spots near you (which will happen soon IMHO). Hope this helps.  |

QUOTE(julchin_09 @ Feb 17 2006, 12:15 PM) Centrino itself is supposed to be an Intel Pentium Mobile with Wi-fi built in. Then as for hot-spots, currently the free ones are in STARBUCKS which is by the telco TIMEZONE. Other like Airzed and TMNET requires you to buy a prepaid card..... alright, thanks everyone for the answers.looks like i must get a new centrino laptop then, but i need full protection against my laptop when using WIFI, what should i do then? I have only to install Norton Antivirus 2006 and Norton Internet security 2006? |
