Hi
If the laptops are Wireless capable you do need additional cards.
Many Laptops have a physical switch that need to be switched On to start the
Wireless.
In addition you have to make sure that your Laptop's Network settings are
configured.
Read the manual. or and look at the manfacturer site.
If you the Wireless basic are functioning this might help.
