Network adapter
I have a Realtec network adapter that came with my desktop a couple of
years ago. Is there a way of knowing if its adaptable to wireless connections? Or even it isn't, i have a compatible router and my laptop is wireless...can the one in the desktop ( if its not wireless ) be able to be used as such? I went to the company and there is no contact info..just updated drivers. |

To get wireless network access through your existing Realtek wired adapter, get a wireless gaming adapter and connect it to the Realtek. Here are some examples: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_Id=154416 http://www.netgear.com/Products/Adap...rs/WGE111.aspx http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=333 Or even it isn't, i have a compatible router and my laptop is wireless...can the one in the desktop ( if its not wireless ) be able to be used as such? I went to the company and there is no contact info..just updated drivers. If your have a wireless router located near the desktop computer, you can connect the computer to the router through a wired connection, without the need for a wireless adapter. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
