includes link to Gateway support -- which has a user guide listed

I have NO idea about this company-- but it looks like you CAN go wireless pretty easily.

Ebay can be a good resource-- if you are very familiar with what you need. I would not buy parts from someone (for my 1st time around) without tech support. I am not real familiar with Gateway products-- but you can get ripped off on auction sites if you're not careful.

Want good deals/info on companies??

...I have never gotten bad info from this site -- I recommend them wherever I go. I can't stand to see anyone get ripped off.
