is my pc wireless ready?

I have a Sony Viao pc bought about two years ago.

my wife needs to connect her laptop to our broadband to allow her to work faster.

I am assuming a wireless network is the solution but i am not sure if our pc just needs a wireless router or a router and a dongle or even if it is able to support wireless.

we are currently using a BT voyager 210 ADSL router on the pc.

what should i be checking to find out?

A Sony Vaio bought a couple of years ago will almost certainly be have a wireless adaptor built in, so there shouldn't be any need to buy anything else.

What model is it, exactly?

Hang on, I've misunderstood you, I think.

A Vaio desktop PC will need either a USB dongle/adaptor or an internally fitted card. The USB adaptor is the easiest route, and an adaptor will cost about £15 or so. Unless your PC is close enough to the router to connect via an ethernet cable, of course.

I thought the Sony Vaio was the laptop.
