Do I understand correctly, can I use this to get wireless internet with a desktop PC that does not have a wireless card?

That is correct. This is an antennae as well as a usb wireless Internet card. As long as your computer has a usb drive you are all set.
1011036
Yes, you only need a USB port in your computer. The receiver is built into the antenna. You MIGHT need to download some drivers for the device if you PC doesn't have any that will work.

Yes, plug it into your USB and install the software and you will have super fast wifi. It works great.

Will it work to do what? This is not a hot spot...it's a device to turn a wired Ethernet port into wireless

i am no computer guru but i imagine you could run this in addition to your wifi card. it is not an antenna but rather a "receiver" with an external antenna.. it works just great with my older "rehabbed" desktop, much better than one without the external antenna.

The intel website is real good for answering what wireless cards will work. depends on your version of windows you are running.http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/wireless-product-selection-guide.html

Yes, Karen. The AE2500 will provide a wireless capability to your desktop. Make sure it meets the minimum system requirements.

This computer doesnt have a wireless card so you'll have to get one seperately. You can either get a wireless card or a wireless usb. Its going to cost somewhere around $50 usd.

Anything that has an iEthernet port can use this for internet. All this does basically is replace a long Ethernet cable with a wireless signal it pulls from your router no special drivers needed just hook to your pc the first time to log it to your network unplug it and put it wherever you want and it'll pull the wifi signal and send it through an Ethernet cable to whatever you need to have internet that didn't have wifi

Hi Rebecca, that would be a 'no'. This card is only for a wired (ethernet cable) connection, and has no wireless capabilities. A quick search on Amazon will give you lots of good wireless cards though, including little gadgets that just stick in a spare USB slot so you don't have to take the case off your computer to install a card. Good luck!

Yes, it will allow you to connect your desktop to a wireless router. That is what it is for. It is "dual" band because now routers sometimes come as dual band routers and you can then connect to either band. Of course, it will not give you "free" internet service where none is available. If the RV park has internet service that you have to pay for, you will still have to pay for it ... but at least this adapter will allow you to get the wireless service.

no. this would produce wireless for the desktop. You will need this for the laptop as well as a wireless router. You would also need a internet connection the location the router is installed

it is capable, although no wireless cards are included................ I purchased this computer and grabbed a $40 board-mounted card and had no problems. There are several USB wireless cards available as well that perform as well as, if not better than, most on-board wireless cards

I think so. I use this modem for Ethernet connection and wireless, but it should work without a wireless connection.

No, it has no Ethernet or wireless connection of its own, only e-sata so it needs the card and a computer.

Yes, it will work if you do not have a wireless card. All you need is a open USB port. This will provide wireless access which will replace your Ethernet cable...

I know it works with usb but I have not gotten it to work wireless without wireless router.

No; you will need to use a wireless card. I use this hard wired for a work at home opportunity.
