ACER 3212 - how to wirelessly connect to hotspots...???
Respected Tech gurus and dear friends
I have just purchased an acer laptop.
The acer model is 3212 (3210 series)
http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/tm3210.htm
All i want is to make sure that i can wirelessly access the internet at various hotspots through my laptop in USA especially at the hotel where i intend to stay (as the hotel does provide free wireless internet access)...????
BUT I am too too non technical person and am unsure whether the laptop acer 3212 needs any aditional hardware or software so that i can access the net in usa.
pzl have a look at the above link which gives the detailed feature of my laptop and suggest whether any additional hardware is required or not...????
I am absoultely new to this networking and wireless stuff and request you knowledgeable people to guide me in a simple and desciptive manner what should be done to achieve this.
I have also heard that there are lots of securities and vulnerabilities issues in wifi network. How can i be protected.
Again I am a very very non technical person and require simple step by step instruction.
Thanks a lot for your anticipated help and cooperation. ALso for ur time patience and effort with me.
Best regards
