Fiber optic- help to set up wireless home
We'll be moving into a home that have fiber optic wired in. The problem is that I don't have a specialized jack to hook up my desktop PC in my own office. I find it'd cost me an arm and leg to install a jack. While researching fiber optic, I also learned that I don't need a modem in order to have a connection. I currently do have a Belkin Wifi router for my husband's laptop and our kindles. But I've bought an ASUS router and thought to plug into a jack in one of the rooms and make it the central focal point and have USB adapters in our computers to link to the central wifi router, as well as our kindles and phones.
The focus is on my desktop computer, however. I have a Dell Inspirion, Win 7 Home Edition (I believe I have SP2) I'm not sure if I have a specialized ethernet card or a built-in wireless connection in my PC. If I don't have that, is it possible to use an USB wifi adapter that I can plug into my computer? How do I go about getting connected wirelessly?
Hope this makes sense!
