Have got a desk top without wireless connection - the Mrs is wanting to connect to our new wireless router. I don't suppose anyone can send me a link to a product from Ebuyer (they take Paypal!) to something that is suitable - either a card or a dongle.

Thanks in advance!

Just need a wireless network card.

BUT - does the router have a socket on the back ? You could just bang a cable in from it to the PC and save alot of faff.

No idea which one is best. I use a cable 8O. If it's a laptop you obviously can't use an adapter that's designed to fit inside a desktop. Just watch the cost. You can buy a new laptop for less than 300 quid.

Thanks for your help guys!

Anything but Belkin should be fine.
