Default A simple question...

I have a laptop that is not wi fi enabled. How do I go about enabling it?

I realise I need a wi fi adaptor, but do I also need any software?

Can anyone recommed an adaptor?

Do all adaptors provide access to wi fi broad band?

Many thanks!!

A

If you have a wireless router in the house, then yes.
