Having the ability to go online wherever you are is rapidly becoming a must for many. If you own a smart phone or a laptop, you can appreciate the convenience of being able to check email on the go. If you're in a business that requires constant communication with suppliers, dealer, and buyers of your merchandise, internet access is a must at all times.

If you are using a relatively new laptop, your machine is most likely equipped with a wireless network adapter. This is a device built into laptops that allow them to pick up wireless signals used by internet service providers. A laptop with a wireless network adapter can access the internet from any hotspot- a zone where the internet service provider gives access through a wireless network.

If you do not own a laptop with a built-in wireless adapter, you can purchase a laptop wireless network card. A laptop wireless network card is a device that can be plugged into a laptop that will enable it to access wireless networks. If you have a wireless network in your own home, a laptop wireless network card is a good addition to old laptops. The convenience of being online without wires can literally change your life.

Before purchasing a laptop wireless network card, find out what brands and standards are supported in hotspots you frequent. For home use, get a laptop wireless network card that is compatible with your home network.

Once you've installed your laptop wireless network card, you can test it at home and in hotspots all over your town or city. Coffee shops often have free wireless internet, and provide their customers with a code to access their wireless network. Some malls give free wireless internet as an incentive to stay and dine in the establishments inside. Be warned that some hotspots do charge for internet access. In these places, you may need to buy a prepaid wireless card to access the internet. The prepaid wireless card will contain a password that will give you internet access in the designated hotspot for certain period of time.

If you value connectivity and convenience, a laptop wireless network card is a great purchase. It's a lovely feeling to have easy access to email, instant messaging, and social networking tools at practically every place you go.
