Can I get wireless wifi?

Branbran2017

Hiya I've got a big question.
I've got a acer aspire t180-ub7z that's on windows vista. I've just found it and I was wondering whether I can get wireless wifi on it or if it's only wired?
Thanks brandon.

Hey Brandon,
Do you want to disable the WiFi on the computer altogether and only use Ethernet (wired)? If so: 

1. Click on Start.

2. Click on Control Panel.

3. Click on Network and Internet.

4. Click on Network and Sharing Center.

5. Choose Change adapter settings on the Task pane.

6. Right-click on Wireless Network Connection.

7. Select Disable.

That will disable your WiFi and if you want to reverse, follow the same and select Enable. Post that, only your Ethernet will work.

Hi @Branbran2017

Desktop PCs do not usually come with built-in Wi-Fi, especially older models. So if you need to get wireless connectivity on your beige box, you have a few options: you can use either USB Wi-Fi adapter, a PCI-E Wi-Fi card, a new motherboard with built-in Wi-Fi.

You can just plug the USB Wi-Fi adapter into the PC's USB port and it just works, which is what makes it the most convenient option. The plug-and-play convenience means that you can remove it if it isn't needed, and use it in another PC. For more stable connections across larger distances, and better throughput, Wi-Fi PCI cards have worked better in my experience, they cost a lot more than 802.11ac USB adapters.
