How to make desktop wireless

POSTED BY: AshleyRFC 1 month, 1 week ago

I have an Orange Livebox which already has my laptop as wireless and my hubbys computer as wired.

We have a spare desktop that we were thinking of setting up for our oldest(she likes to play cbeebies etc).

How can I make it wireless without having to open it up and put a wireless card inside?

Any help would be great.

you can get a livebox adapter (one came with my livebox) or just get a dongle one from somewhere

Dunno, dont plan on giving it back anytime soon anyways, not had any trouble with orange, much better than Virgin was and I got my laptop for £69.99 by taking the Orange deal.

If you ever decide to finish your orange contract then you will have to hand the livebox back or you will get charged £100.

Had to give the modem back to virgin when I gave up that contract and will give the livebox back too but as I said no plans to get rid of Orange yet.
