Right okes, i need some info.

I've never really had anything to do with wireless networks and what not, so im a bit clueless regarding these things atm.

What i want to do is connect my pc to my router wirelessly (not using a LAN cable).

What option do i have available pc side (pci/usb/rj45 plug?)

Also, i have a wireless router, but is it for wireless internet, or for connecting wirelessly to my pc?

I know i sound like a big fat idiot here, but ive just always had ADSL and ive never liked wireless, so i dont know anything about it (and i havent found much on google).

Can someone enlighten me over here please :D
 
the router you have there is good for internet too. just plug in the telephone cable, add your username and password to the router and your good to go. on the pc side a wireless pci card is the way to go. usb ones do work, but i believe the pci version to be a better option. You may still need to connect the pc to the router for the initial setup, enable wireless, change the default password, define ssid, etc but once thats done you can connect wireless.
