Connect PC to a external wireless network
Closed
Hello,
my question is: if I want to configure wireless Internet on a desktop PC do I need both router and wireless adapter? Somebody told me that the adapter should be enough, so I've bought it, installed it and even if it works properly, it doesn't find any networks to connect to. I must underline the fact that I don't want to connect to a home network, but to a free external one. My office is located in an area provided with free wireless internet acces by the town's Council House. My colleague has a Laptop and he can acces the network, but I can't. Can you pls tell me what should I do? Thank you very much, I would really appreciate it.

Yes you do need the router, because that is what locates the wireless networks outside your home telling you what is free and what is security protected. Wi Fi laptops, have the router and adapter already in the computer, so you would not need to buy that equipment.
As for you, you need both the adapter and the router, in order for you to search and connect.
hope that this helps.
