Hello, and thanks for taking the time to post your question.

 

To be able to receive a wireless internet signal to your desktop computer you need to install a wireless network card. They generally come in 2 forms, one is an internal PCI card that plugs directly into your desktop's system board. The other is a USB connection.

 

USB devices are listed here.

 

Internal PCI cards are listed here.

 

You will generally get better speeds (internally) and a more conisistent connection if you opt for the internal PCI card.

 If you are not comfortable installing these devices yourself, you can have a ConnectPro Expert either do it at the store for you or from the comfort of your own home. As well as our new service offering of ConnectPro Online Support. The link is in my signature below.

 

Hope this info helps!
