Wireless connector

Hi anyone

I've just bought a new computer which has come with a wireless antennae (and cd). I'm not sure where you plug in the antennae. Does it go into the computer or into the router. It has a gold screw at the end. I haven't installed the software (on the cd I presume) as I'm worried that it won't work with the antenna being in place. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Assuming its a desktop, which you don't say the aerial stub would screw into the appropriate PCI card round the back of the PC.
    I doubt you need the CD, Windows (assuming it is a windows PC) should find the interface and install the driver. All you will have to do then is let it find your wireless routers' SSID key in the passcode, and Robert will be a close relative.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
