[bcab] Re: first impressions of Advent 4211

I may be wrong, but I suspect there's a switch - perhaps on
the left hand side - which turns on Wi-Fi.

Hi all.

 

Well I purchased an Advent 4211 today and put JAWS on it.
It seems to run OK and the installation of XP looks fairly
standard.  JAWS seems to work OK but have not yet installed
any larger programs such as Microsoft Office.

 

I do have one question however.  It is my understanding that
this computer has both WiFi and Bluetooth.  I can find
Bluetooth but not WiFi.  the computer says there is no wifi
adaptor and to make sure that the WIFI is turned on.  The PC
World site is rather vague about whether there is WIFi or
Bluetooth.  The online manual looks at first glance at least
to be a generric document explaining things like keyboard,
system unit, sound card etc. but this could apply to
desktops or laptops, it is not model specific.  So, if
anyone can tell me whether in fact the Advent 4211 has WIFi
and if so how to turn it on I would be greatful.  It would
seem rather odd for a PC specifically designed for
networking on the move not to have WIFI connectivity and if
WIFI is not available I will certainly return the unit to PC
World.

 

Regards

 

Graham
