I have been busy for hours now, but I do not get anything on the chain…
I was asked by a nice old man to see if I can do the following as he does not.
I connect the laptop with the Wi-Fi. Sometimes this works as soon as I go to the Internet but then it does not work anymore or it is not connected.
Since the laptop of his already deceased wife is already very old as I think I would like to make him happy.
The Wi-Fi is good enough because it is not. Have some forums looked through, but I do not look through synonymous.
I'm very grateful for any help.
Please just and explain to stupid people xd
Did you check your drivers? If everything is right you have to use a LAN cable or make it on a newer system Windows XP because newer drivers are mostly not compatible with Windows XP
What exactly do I have to check there?
Which laptop is it?
Maybe you could help then.
Unlike in newer Windows, this must be set differently.
How this is configured stands here:

I think that is relatively old… This is the HP Pavilion zv5000
If you have the model of your Wi-Fi card (because it's mostly built in as a chip or card) then search online on DuckDuckGo or Google for the driver when you download it and it complains that it's the same version already installed there's nothing newer but it may be that the newer ones can't install themselves, because that just is not compatible anymore, but unfortunately i can't tell you anymore because i'm not an expert in windows xp it does me very sorry.
If the laptop does not have a WLAN receiver you need a USB-WLAN-Stick, which also has the drivers for XP.
Like this:
Asu ok thank you very much! 😊
I think he owns a wlan receiver, his wife has also used it with wlan. I do not know if she has used such a stick. How can I find out if the wlan has a receiver? Or is that possible?
But I hope that it might still be a little helpful ^ - ^ if not… Yes, then I had bad luck
In the Control Panel / Device Manager is under Network, which network cards are installed.
But if it already went with Wi-Fi, then normally everything is set. Otherwise, since you have little idea, but looking for someone who understands more of it, because how it is set, is described in the first link. There are also other sites - but it is not so easy with XP.
Have looked, who has wlan a / b / g ie. In the best case 54Mb / s.
Read this (here):
WLAN G (IEEE802.11g)
In 2003, the new Wi-Fi standard 802.11g brought more speed. 54 Mbit data transfer rate should be, but these were rarely in a terminal on. Practically, however, was the backward compatibility to the standard 802.11b, which also provided existing devices with Wi-Fi, which dominated only 802.11b. 802.11g, however, was a bit prone to interference. When warming up the lunch in the microwave it could already come to WLAN aborts.
Would, as mentioned here, use a Wi-Fi stick,
Have you seen the button above the keyboard in the middle, there you can switch Wlan on and off.
