    Yes, cheap as chips, plug and play, you will need the Wireless key that came with your Router,

      Yes, but you need to ensure it's compatible with whatever wireless adaptor or access point it will connect to.  Basically talking about the wireless mode(s) each   end of the connection will support (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n).

        Absolutely.

        There are many to choose from and they are not too expensive.

        Here is a list of some available on Amazon.com: http://bit.ly/4G29CY

        As the previous poster mentioned, compare the wireless mode of the card to that of your wireless router - e.g. 802.11g.

        If you want to read more in depth about the various wireless modes, here is a good entry in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11

        Here is a very useful comparison chart that mentions the interoperability of the protocols: http://bit.ly/6G3Wn7
