I have an old PC wired to a network. Is this adapter all I need to go wireless? The network is run wired and wireless.

No.You also will need a wireless router to connect to the wired network to transmit and receive the signal.The Netgear N300 Wireless Router would be a good choice. Make sure your old PC has a USB port to plug this adapter into.

Yes that adapter makes it wireless but you have to have a wireless router connected to your modum in which to use this.. I had one without the wireless card in it and plugged it in and BOOM wireless connection it is awesome. YPlug this into your computer and it will connect to any wireless network as long as you have the code to the wireless network you are trying to connect too it is good to go. i connect to the neighbors cause we share a service provider and I can connect to their wireless with this.

This was all I needed, but my computer is only a couple years old. I would check that your computer meets any software requirements listed for this adapter. As long as it does then you should be fine. It literally took me less than five minutes to get this working.

The N300 receives a wireless signal in a WiFi System. If you already have a Router providing that wireless signal, you are all set.

It seems a bit odd that you'd have a server with wireless. You generally want 2 hardwired connections for all servers.Also, 2008 is based off Windows 7, so if it works for 7 it will more than likely work here

Yes. You can connect the Gaming Adapter to a router or switch that the PC is also connected to instead of straight to the PC. Just make sure the PC is connected with a cable, NOT wireless. Wireless will work, but you invite trouble.

I think it would require a second network adapter (the device which plugs into the wall and connects to your wireless router) and a second wireless router. The second wireless router would have to connect to your wireless network (not difficult to accomplish with modern wireless routers).

No. If you want to use a wireless router you have to attach a USB wireless adapter to a USB port on the pc like the media link wireless or panda wireless adapter.

Ive been looking for the wireless adapter for this. Can anyone point me in right direction? appreciate ya!

yes, this is how I am using it too. I have two wired computers on the WD switch which then connects to a wired port on the wireless router. All work fine.

You could use an n or g adapter (since n routers are backwards compatible to g), or you could use an ethernet cable. If you PC had a g or n wireless card already in it, you would not have to purchase another one.

no its a wired lan adapter. If you want a wireless connector search for Edimax on amazon.

Yes it will work with the wireless adapter. I really like it. It repeats a powerful signal that allows me the freedom to work with the laptop everywhere on our property. It is a little tricky to set up follow instructions closely. Once done you can run a wire from it, or use it to create a wireless network that will work around the house. Once in a while it doesn't start correctly and I have to power it down and restart it.

Not all Wireless adapters are going to work. Adapters based on the Ralink chipset would work best.

You need to have a router, usually from your ISP first, then you can add a computer with the adapter.

If your old computer doesn't have a wireless card, this will do it. However, if its that old, it might not have a USB port and you might need a wireless card instead (they are VERY cheap)!

I don't think you are following the directions correctly. Just plug it into a wireless computer on your network (laptop) and it will automatically get the network info from the computer. Those are the directions on the quick start guide. 3 minutes and you are done.

Yes, this is a normal network adapter supporting the a/b/g/n bands as well as the new ac band of the 802.11 standard. As long as you're accessing a wireless network which supports these bands as well has know their passwords (if any), then it should work without issue.

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

No this unit is for wired direct to network! Works good though, as I have had mine for quite some time now!
