the problem is: I have a old laptop computer that has wireless unfortunately th wireless that is installed is not the standard that is compatible with my router which is 801.xxx so I cannot use this computer with my wireless router, now I want to connect wirelessly  with my router, is there any kind of adapter that will work with linux and my new standard router? I have a medion laptop 1 gig ram ubuntu linux intel processer

What is the brand and model of your router?

What is the model of your Medion?

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

I couldn't find any info on either one of those. I found the Belkin N150 Basic router. Is that the one you have?

Open terminal and do
Code: [Select]
lspci | grep Wireless Post the output here.
