    Bought my sager np8662 and it has the built in intel wireless 530 and I had some guy from linksys access my computer wirelessly and he says it doesn't have a wireless card. My computer cannot detect wireless networks or my linksys wireless router. I'm going away to school and i don't know what todo on such short notice. Any ideas?

    its not 'built in' (integrated) but its connected though pciExpress Mini: http://media.photobucket.com/image/np8662/ovreagr/8662.jpg if you look at this pic, on the bottom, the red and blue couplers are the connections to the wifi card and antennas. But if feel comfortable take off the bottom panel, you can see for your self if it is there or not.

    If not, you could request the part and attempt to install it yourself, but you could also send it back from them to install it in.
