- Can Disable Built-In Wireless on Laptop?
- Posted by Spring06 on December 4th, 2007
Hi:
There are 4 PCs and one Laptop in my small home-office.
Now, I need to add another, new PC with Vista.
My ISP allows only 5 Internet connection which we, the family
has. Then, it's problem if I bring another PC with Vista in my
home-office.
I rarely use Laptop, probably once or twice per month. Instead,
I need a brand-new PC with Internet Connection for a good use.
Is there any way to disable Built-in Wireless on Laptop in order
to accomodate a new PC with Vista which needs Internet connection?
Any inputs and suggestions would be truly appreciated.

do you have a Comcast Home Networking gateway? If yes, unplug it and
plug it back in again. A recent change was made (in the past 60
days) and you no longer are limited to 5 simultaneous connections.
Power cycling the device will make the change for you.

You should buy a router which offers "wireless" networking since this
may be helpful for you laptop (you can then move it from room to room
with you.)
