Internet on Laptop

Does anyone know if you can get internet built in after you laptop as been built? I have a laptop that was custom built by Dell, will be just a year ago in Dec. 09 and I didn't at the time get the internet built in, which now I wish I had. Do you know if it is possible to get it built in now or would I have to build a whole new laptop in order to get it.

 

Please let me know if you have the answer!

 

Thanks!Big Smile

Re: Internet on Laptop

All systems made in the past few years have built in wired and almost all have wireless.  If you're referring to broadband (Verizon, AT&T, etc.)  you can add it afterward as you like.

Re: Internet on Laptop

Thank you for your reply. Yes, My computer is equipped with wireless internet but although it works when in town, i do not pick up any wireless connections at my house. Therefore, I have AT&T internet through a USB card. So instead of having to keep up with the USB internet card, I can have it built in now...and it will still be paid through AT&T???

 

I just built a computer for my sister-in-law and instead of her buying the USB internet through AT&T I had it built in and all she had to do was finish setup and she doesn't have to keep up with the USB. I am now wanting to have it built it..So you are saying I can do this??? And how do I go about it? Do I have to send my computer back to Dell??

 

Hopefully I'm not too confusing. It's just hard to explain!

Thank you again!!!

Re: Internet on Laptop

You can get an internal WWAN card for your system.  If you post the model of the system, someone can point you to the correct card.
