I feel so stupid.......Make sure when you buy computers especially Laptops you read the user manuals completely instead of thinking you know it and don't need to like I did.
Earlier this year before we pulled our kids from public school we bought a laptop because our old desktop computer was outdated and than the hardrive bit the dust.
We bought a Toshiba A135 Satelitte Series Laptop. For months I have seen this Wi-Fi Satelittle button on the front of it, and never turned it on, never looked it up to see what it was for or nothing.
Well yesterday I turned it on, and still really not understanding contacted the Toshiba manufacturer for help.
Now here's my GOOD NEWS and info on how we have another tool for homeschooling---Just don't laugh at me ok?!
The Toshiba Satelitte Wi-Fi Series, has built in Wi-Fi hardware and software that when turned on searches the sky around you for satelittle signals that allow you to connect to the internet without having to use a phoneline, broadband, or even an ethernet connection thus eliminating having to sign up with an Internet provider, and eliminating having to stay at home, you can go to the park for an outing or take a trip to a landmark or something for a field trip and take your laptop with you and after your done turn on your Wi-Fi switch and you can connect to the internet to look up what you need for your trip even while in the car, as long as there are signals you can connect and for free.
I feel stupid for this, when I think of how much money I have spent with first juno for internet access I could just kick myself.
I am using my wi-fi now and still may keep Juno for if we have bad signals due to weather or whatever as a back (still deciding there).
However, now I can sit and go from room to room with no wires attached to the laptop, go outside, take it with us, and even use my phone again while online at the same time....So So Convenient....
