you need an access point or a wireless router ...

[quote=moonrays00]access point? i already have a wireless router...[/quote] access point same as w.router but the difference is it doesn't have any port for cables like the w.router. you don't have any problem, you can have a wireless networking as long as you can freely access your dsl modem and knows how to configure it your fine. if you don't ask your ISP.

[quote=moonrays00]http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=473[/quote] no that's not a router, it is a device you use in your computer system to communicate w/ other wireless network devices such as wireless network adapter, access point and wireless router. it has similar functionality of wireless network adapter but it uses USB as its port. you need to use either that device or the wireless network adapter to be able to connect to a wireless type of network. [quote=moonrays00]http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=470&sec=0[/quote] it looks similar to wireless router but if you check at the back, it doesn't have any port for the cables (excluding port for internet) . it only accept wireless connectivity. while wireless router is much better, it accept both wireless and cable(usually up to 4).

[quote=moonrays00]haha i cant understand.. that because im a noob.. so i cant use this thing? http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=470&sec=0[/quote] wireless network adapter is required when connecting a computer to a wireless router. you can't set a wireless network using wireless router alone. your computer is not capable of communicating w/ other wireless network devices. you need a wireless network device installed so your computer can send packets/data via wifi. though you can still use your w.router via cables.
