Question [Answered] I need wireless on my new laptop
I recently bought an HP dv4000 laptop and it doesn't have wireless internet on it. I ebayed "dv4000 wireless" and it came up with some Intel PCI card, I messaged the people and asked if that's what I needed, and they told me I need some antenna thing too. What all do I need to get wireless on my laptop? Is it possible for me to install myself?

Hi there and welcome to PC Help Forum

We can certainly give you an idea as to what to purchase for the laptop itself but what other network equipment are you going to connect to (wirelessly)?

Excellent, then this type of thing will be cheap and perfect for you
Newegg.com - CNet CWD-854 IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Wireless-G USB Dongle up to 54Mbps Data Rates WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption - Retail - it simply plugs into a spare USB port.

so all I need to do is buy that and plug it in and it's ready to go? I don't have to buy any cards or anything?

No, this device (or similar) will plug directly into your laptop and connect wirelessly with any wireless network in range.
