No hard wire connection available here.

The old laptop is also not compatible with Windows 10, but in this case I don't believe that would have done a thing. The wireless card in it simply cannot do what it was not designed to do. Wireless "N" was a pipe dream when that card was made.

Probably could have shared the Internet connection from the newer laptop with the older one, but forgot to bring a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the two laptops. It's really not been a big issue, as we have a Kindle HD that connects wirelessly as well.

I just wanted to basically alert people that it appears the age old Wireless "G" standard seems to no longer be supported here.
