[bcab] Re: first impressions of Advent 4211

Hi Graham

 

All reviews of the machine say that wifi is included.  Maybe just pop in to
PC world and ask them how to turn it on, should you do this I wish you the
best of luck.

 

Thanks

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
