Enabling wireless.

[se]

Hello All.

I have a custom built 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium desktop computer and I got a brand new HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-In-One Wi-Fi, Wireless printer for Christmas, which I am still figuring out...Howdo I find out if my computer is Wireless enabled? I hope this is not a stupid question.

Thanks Sheldon.

goto control panel > network and internet > network connections
and see if you have a wifi adapter listed.

In Control Panel do you mean goto Internet Options or do you mean goto Network and Sharing Cantre?

network and sharing then click "Change adapter settings" on the left hand side and it will bring you to a list of your network adapters.

Ok After I did that it just brings up my LAN icon.

you most likely do not have a wifi card in your desktop then.

do you have a wifi router? you can still use that to connect the printer.

I do have a Rogers Hi-Speed Home Networking Modem because I have a laptop computer that wanted internet access on.

So is your laptop wireless? If so,,,Did you use a password to get on your wifi? You have to use the same password and set your printer up on wifi. When you do this your Computer can use the printer and your laptop can use it also. My smartphone can even use mine. My printer even has its own email address. Its a cheap wireless Epson for 69.00 dollars.........Bottom line is your computer doesn't have to be wireless. Its your Rogers thingy that your printer needs so your printer can be wireless. Just like the laptop

did you check in BIOS to see if the WiFi is disabled there? if it is, it WILL disappear from windows as a device.
