Hello Dale, My router isn't a wireless one. I've had it at least 5 years. I can hook up 4 computers to it. When I do decide to buy a new laptop, I'll have to buy a wireless card for the desktop, a new wireless router, and I think my service provider may have to send me a wireless modem. Unless my present cable modem can hook up to the wireless router. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Leavens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2008 3:12 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] wireless network card
