Connect to Internet

[lamboceligts]

I just got a new desktop and I have no idea how to get it connected to the internet. We have a wireless router on another desktop downstairs.

The desktop is CQ5320Y Specs: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Compaq+-+Presario+Desktop+with+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+II+Dual-Core+Processor/9693859.p?id=1218152062935&skuId=9693859&st=CQ5320Y&cp=1&lp=1

It has a Built-in 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN card.

You need a wireless adapter.

It depends on what your router is, but assuming its g this would work:

Okay cool I googled it and didnt find that I could use a wireless adapter.

I can post what exact model router it is if needed...

 

[Microtomer]

Its probably g or n. Just match the adapter you choose accordingly.

If you want though you can post your router info.

Yeah I looked on the box and it's a G.

Thanks, I thought I would have to go a different route but this is easy.

Now i am trying to find the cheapest one with the best ratings.
