    Hi everyone! I am a proud owner of a 1520 and I have a question regarding upgrade. When I purchased the notebook several months ago, I had no necessity for a wireless card and I now would love to be able to access the wireless network at my school, is there any card I could buy in order to access wireless networks/routers?

    Any help would be great!
    Thanks so much!
    Eric

    Didn't it come with wireless? Do you need better or different type?

    In the more recent Dells, there should be 3 slots. They are for 802.11, Bluetooth, and either satellite/WiMAX or a Flash cache card.
