Hello. I bought a used Dell Inspiron 1318 (from circa 2008) & am using it as a temporary backup laptop. It came w/ an older version of Windows 10 Home, & I had to upgrade to Windows version...

Thanks. I'm noticing that my dell wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card doesn't have a "transmit power" option in device manager, & that it MAY be running on 802.11b, NOT 802.11g. It says "802.11b only" under...

Thanks. I have no idea if W10 has drivers for that card, is the problem.

I can't really do n-class b/c they're usually dual-band, & mixed-mode. This fx my health very badly. I do well w/ the Dell b/c it's strictly 2.4 GHz, & it only goes up to 802.11g protocol.

Idk. I only connect at public & university libraries & 1 coffee shop. My major concern is W10 not creating drivers for 1x1 802.11g cards anymore.

Thanks for th info. Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card. I already know for a fact that the Dell wifi card is strictly 1x1, 2.4 GHz 802.11g protocol. T6500 Intel Core Duo processor (2.1 GHz). I had a...

Cool. I don't know if I can put an SSD in the Dell Inspiron 1318, but I know that that make & model has had W10 put on it, sans upgrade to SSD. What do you guys think of these single-band wifi...

Because of health circumstances, an external monitor is not an option for me. I'm thinking of just buying 2 more Dell Inspiron 1318 laptops, & trying to soup 1 of them up so it could process Windows...

Thanks. I don't think so. Need as much shielding as possible, so the more surface area, the better. Need something w/ a wifi antenna that's only tuned to 2.4 GHz. When I downgraded the card on the...

Thanks, guys. I'm looking for suggestions of laptops that might fit my specs re. health, but that could easily handle Windows 10. I'm already diagnosed & don't like to disclose too much. Below are a...

Hi. I got a Lenovo T430 (MT: 2347) for the purpose of having more durable hardware, & for capability to upgrade to Windows 10. I got terrible headaches from the backlit LED display, & the processing...

Thanks. I will. It may be a while, given my disabilities and the holidays, lol. -E. Drew

Cool. Thank you very much. Assuming the hardware for the T430 MT2349 is compatible, which 3 technicians at Lenovo were 90% sure it is, let's hope those drivers help W-10 recognize the card!. I do...

Hello. I posted this q. on a ThinkPad forum, but realized it's a Windows 10 issue, not a Lenovo issue. I'm cognitively & physically disabled & trying as hard as I can to figure a T430 situation out,...
