Introduction

If your laptop is experiencing troubles connecting to the internet, then there may be an issue with your laptop’s Wi-Fi card. The Wi-Fi card in a laptop is what allows it to connect to the internet wirelessly. Without it, the only way you would be able to access the internet would be through a wired connection.
