        How easy would an adapter be to install?
        Do you need to really use a wireless connection? You need to specify the distance from the router going to your PC first. Its either by wired or wireless.

                lewy, Please go back and read my reply in post #9. It tells you how to do this and is VERY simple. Many people here are essentially saying the same thing (just using different terms to describe the same thing) and perhaps creating confusion in your mind. If after reading it again there is a part you do not understand quote it and i will try to further elaborate. Once you have the necessary hardware it will take less time than reading the total contents of this thread to get up and running. What you want to do is very common.truenorth
