Wireless Contact for Old Dell PC
I recently purchased a laptop & wireless router. I got the laptop set-up & the wireless network is working great. Now, I want to move my old PC downstairs where there is no cable access. What do I need to get in order to connect it to to the wireless network? Is it a plug & play thing that I can get locally or do I need to order through Dell? All the hardware is Dell.
Thanks.

You can either get a PCI wireless network adapter (preferred, because it will cause you less problems in the long run) and install it your computer or get a USB wireless network adapter and plug it in to one of your USB ports (less preferred because, in my experience, USB network adapters are more trouble prone). You best bet would be to get such a device from places like CompUSA, BestBuy, Circuit City, etc. There is no need to get one from Dell.
