    How do I go Wireless?


    Running Win7 32bit.

    PC currently directly connected to the modem.

    PC has a Network adapter: Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabyte Ethernet

    Does the above adapter allow me to connect to the wireless network rather than with the cable and, if so, how do I go about it?

    It goes inside your case, on the motherboard.

    You could just get a wireless usb adapter, look at the Newegg link I posted.

    Here`s more.
