| Will an American Laptop with Wi-Fi work to connect to the Internet In Europe? Specifically Ireland? My friend is visiting from Ireland and wants to purchase a laptop. But he is concerned that the wi-fi will not work in Ireland. Informed users please advise. Obviously he needs to have an ISP in Ireland. But it's the hardware that I'm concerned about. Other - Internet - 3 Answers People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : Answer 1 : it should work... the only thing that he might have to worry about is his ac adapter.. the voltage might not be compatible for a US product and he might have to bring a power converter.. i know this because i traveled to israel, spain, and greece and my laptop worked fine i just needed an power converter for my charger Answer 2 : Should work fine, just the AC is different than that of the US of A.. Good travelling... Answer 3 : wifi is different from 3g netowrk!! if your computer has wifi you can connect to any network that is hosted with an access point, with proper username and password. (doesnt matter which country you are at, it is the same idea as connecting your computer using a cable through a router, switch or hub) however 3g network is going thru your telephone company. you must buy a plan! and almost all companies in United States have limit on monthly bandwidth. and for international use they charge pretty high as well! it just like the idea you are using your cell phone, they charge per minute, and for 3g network they charge per MB. |
