Wi-Fi on a Vintage Laptop! (Windows 98)

[@RealOny]

That old Linksys interface brought some good memories from the mid 2000's when I was using my dad's laptop. Nice video.

[@crazycoollady]

It's great you were able to connect this old laptop to the internet.

[@d-simpleexplorer9943]

I think u are the first person in the world can connect wifi with win 98 👍👍

[@DistrosProjects]

Nah the drivers existed on the CD for a reason, but I doubt too many people have.

​@@DistrosProjects 4-5 years ago I bought an old Dell Latitude laptop running 98 SE just to play retro games, had a wireless card which I then used to connect to the internet with Boingo lol. I had compatible programs dragged in from a USB stick. It was pretty rad, honestly.

I've always used wifi on compaq armada a3500 even as a little kid with 3meg broadband. Fun times no cord! ❤

[@JohanlastZa]

Ahh, the pain of Windows 98 and drivers and all the restarting

[@cateh6418]

thought i was going crazy, saw you posted in joon's discord but i couldn't find the video on youtube 😅

[@DistrosProjects]

Yep, the audio was 2-10 seconds behind the video, so i had to reupload. This is the second audio problem I've had in the past 2 videos.

[@cateh6418]

@@DistrosProjects oh man, that bites. fingers crossed next video will be less of a problem!

At 3:06 Why this wireless driver require Internet Explorer 6 not Internet Explorer 5.5 & earlier, reason ?

[@DistrosProjects]

The interface for the WiFi chooser is written in HTML that requires IE6. Yes, it’s that ridiculously stupid.

[@NguyenHoang-pv2xd]

Does wireless driver work with 98lite Windows 98 without Internet Explorer ?

[@DistrosProjects]

I’m sure it doesn’t because an internet explorer based interface is required to pick the networks.

[@JakeS-LMAO]

404 when I click link to the driver?

[@DistrosProjects]

Link updated

@@DistrosProjects Thanks, it works now
