My wife has a laptop for her work-from-home job and the wireless card has failed. Her work "does not support wireless" so they won't fix it and she is very unhappy being corded. I can not open the box to replace the card as I do not own the computer. I also do not have Admin access to install a driver.
Is it possible to use any usb to wifi (N preferably) dongle and have it "just work" plug and play in Windows 7? What "Product Specifications" would indicate native compatibility?
