[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 87607, member: 1498"] The ad doesn't say it has a wireless card so I would assume you have to connect it to the modem with an Ethernet cable (looks like a phone cord but slightly bigger). If you have more than one computer that you want to connect to the internet, you have to either take turns or get an router or a router/modem combination. The modem gets the service into your house, the router allows more than one computer to access the service. You can get a wireless router or a wireless router/modem which allows you to use both Ethernet cable and wireless connections. You would have to buy wireless cards for the computers if they don't have them. They're just little things that slip into one of the ports on the laptop. I don't know if there is an external wireless card for desk models; I just got the ones that go inside and installed them. [/QUOTE]
