can i connect my HP slimline desktop to the internet wirelesly?

Howard57 · ‎07-02-2017

I want to relocate my Slimeline desktop to another room in the house, I dont want to use a cable and have to drill holes.

From the specs I see that both wireless and bluetooth connectivity is posskible but how do I do it?

Do I need to install a wifi adapter to the computer?

Any help with this would be most welcome

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry I can't find both codes. Google and HP PartStore can't find it

Your search for 724 521- 001 failed to find any matching HP products. Please read the hints below, and try again.

Now, please go to Device Manager, expand Network adapters to see: does it have wireless card or not.

Regards.
