Mary, thank you for your prompt reply. I was almost sure this was the way to go but wanted to get confirmation from someone who had used the wireless adapter before spending money for something that I wasn't sure would work. Again many thanks for your help. -----Original Message----- From: Mary Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 2:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COMPUTERS] Wireless adapters Hi Jack, Yes you can use an adapter. I set up one of my older computers (with XP) for my nephew. I do know I used both Linksys router & adapter. It was a couple of years ago but I do recall it wasn't too hard to do.
