what is your wireless adapter for desktop, a USB one? Did you laptop detect the adapter from your desktop?
-- IT IS A USB ADAPTER. THE LAPTOP CANNOT DETECT ANY MODEMs.
Do you want to get both online at the same time?
-- YES
What is your "wireless modem"? it has router integrated?
-- WHAT IS 'INTEGRATED'? IT WAS PROVIDED BY INTERNET COMPANY.
These are my original questions: (THANKS A LOT)
I installed COMCAST internet services with wireless modem。 I have one desktop and one laptop. The desktop, with a wireless adapter, can be online wirelessly. The laptop, however, with the build-in adapter, cannot detect the wireless modem so that it cannot be online wirelessly.
1. If I plug in the adapter from the desktop on the laptop, it still cannot detect/find any wireless modem.
2. if I plug in the internet cable directly from the modem, the laptop can access internet.
Therefore, I am wondering it is the laptop itself's issue, very likely something related to the modem detection is blocked.
Anybody here has experiences on this issue? I checked the internet provider, they suggested I check with the Laptop (DELL) company. I did not do that yet. But it does not make sense that the working adapter cannot work in the laptop.
Thanks in advance,
