Dialup and wi-fi

ceedeei · 11-07-2007, 02:21 PM

I live in an apartment complex and shortly the management is making free wi-fi available throughout the complex because we cannot get adsl here. My normal connection is dialup through an internal modem so what do I need to be able to use the wi-fi adsl.

If you have a desktop computer you'll need either a PCI expansion card (recommended) or a USB adapter (if you'd prefer not to go into your PC). If you have a laptop it's likely that it has built-in Wi-Fi capability. If not, you'll need a PCMCIA card or a USB adapter.

Thanks very much for the quick reply. Exactly what I wanted to hear too. Roll on wi-fi day.
