WIFI with a hub
My XPS 8500 came with a program that enables me to connect using a "hotspot" and is bluetooth enabled. (I am new to this stuff so I need help).
We will be "full timing" in an RV and I will need internet access on the road. I am going to buy a WIFI hub from Verizon - the Jetpack 4620LE for DH's tablet. Will this also work with my desktop? What do I look for to see if I have the necessary hardware for it?
Thanks all :emotion-1:

Hi jgarcia,
If you have purchased XPS 8500 with a wireless card, it should be able to connect using Verizon's Jetpack 4620LE. You may refer to article Here for step by step instructions on How to connect to a wireless network.
Hope this helps.

Best thing to get is a USB nano wifi dongle. They are inexpensive about $10 to $20 at walmart etc. Works great with the jetpack.
