Can I?

Ok, this is probably a silly question, but being totally useless when it comes to modern technology, I'm lost!

I'm wanting to make my desktop computer wireless for it's internet access.

Here's my problem!

Im with virgin for my broadband, so I have my access point where the cable comes into the house. The cable is then split, 1 for tv, 1 for internet. The cable for the internet then runs to the modem, connected to the computer.

I want to move the desktop to another room. It's the only computer in the house.

Is there a way I can do it without redirecting the cable? Is it not possible because it's the only computer in the house?

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

a wireless network card and a wireless modem/router should solve your problem.

 

Cheers bud.

So I'm looking for something like a BELKIN WIRELESS G NETWORK CARD ????

And a wireless router?

 

I'm not familiar with BELKIN products but ive just done a google search on it and yeah a belkin wireless g network card looks fine.i have a TP-link 54mbps wireless pci card in my computer.

 

Thanks for the info guys, very helpful.

Going by what you say, do I have to get a linksys router if I go for the linksys wireless card? Or can I 'mix and match'? Or does it have to be the same company?

 

any wireless network card should detected any wireless router or network within a certain distance.

 

Thanks for all the pointers and info guys, that's me up and running, finally!

Modem and Router downstairs in the living room and the only pc in the house up in the office, without the big unsightly cable!

Many thanks!
