More info?)
There is nothing specific about any PC hardware that would make it
incompatible with wireless networks. That is entirely operating system
based.
You may have a wireless device that has poorly written or old drivers. Try
downloading the latest drivers from the wireless manufacturer or
calling/emailing the wireless manufacturers technical support, rather than
the PC manufacturer.
You can also email me at a later time if you need assistance.
