Re: Wireless Poker Playing: Does it Work Well?
At the risk of stating the obvious .... you'll also need to get a wireless router. I swear, I had a friend who didn't understand why his wireless laptop could access the internet at his place of business but not at home.
These days, I assume that any laptop you get will be "11g" compatable or better. To get maximum speed, make sure you get an 11g router (rather than the slower 11b).
Hooking this up to your cable or DSL should be pretty easy.
Another alternative, if you get good cell phone reception where you are is to buy a card that uses the cell phone network, along with a monthly subscription for the internet for your laptop. This is the LATEST thing. However, I personally have no knowledge as to how good this service is, and I suspect it may vary location by location.
