Wireless Adapters
If your PC has a USB port and does not have a built in wireless connection you can connect to the modem using a USB wireless adapter. We also supply wireless network cards for laptops that may not have a built in wireless connection.
Please note that if your PC has a USB connection but does not have an Ethernet connection you will need a wireless usb adapter to connect to the wireless modem.
