Hi guys
I have just got wireless broadband through o2 (option 2!), and have had to connect it up using wires as I dont think my comp has wireless capability. Think thats pretty standard for a desktop. o2 dont include a wireless adapter though so looks like I'll have to buy one. Ive been told you can get usb wireless adapters but im worried if i buy any old one that it might not be compatible. Theres one on o2's site for £19.99 but cheapers ones about.
Any advise anyone?

I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

WiFi is a standard independant of manufacturer. So just about any Wireless adapter should be compatible. The only difference is whether it includes anything slightly proprietary (such as "n" standard, MIMO) but it'll still work, just not to it's full potential."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

No that is a USB Bluetooth adaptor. Any of these are suitable for 802.11 wireless.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0
