most likely, your desktop doesn't have wi-fi. this would work if you have a USB port. If not, you can get a wi-fi card also.

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

This makes your computer able to receive wifi signal. You will still need a wireless router box, depending on which internet provider you use. If you are using a laptop, it should already have a wireless adapter and you won't need to purchase this. If you are using an older desktop, you will probably need an adapter like this one, in addition to the wireless router.

If your computer doesn't have built-in wireless, then yes, that's what this is for. You would hook up this to your ethernet jack on the back of your computer using a CAT5 cable. And then this device would wirelessly connect to your Internet router or modem to give you wireless access on your computer.

No you have to have some connection to internet. Either with a cable or wifi connection.

As long as you have a WiFi source to connect to (and the proper login information (ie: Password)), this wireless adapter can simply be plugged in and connected to the Internet. This device IS NOT a mobile hotspot that uses Cellular signals. It is merely a Wifi adapter.

I don't think you need computer. But you need to have a WI Fi modem available.

I purchased this since my desk top computer was not "wi fi" ready and the Netgear router was not directly connected to my computer. Most laptops come "wi fi" ready. If your lap top does not have "wi fi" capabilities it may work. You will still need an internet provider.

You will have no problem accessing the internet with this computer. I have been VERY pleased with every rebuilt or refurbished desktop computer purchased from Amazon sellers. In fact, one of the computers needed around 49 Microsoft updates and it took no time at all to accomplish this task. -Mark-

You would access through the drive. Make the drive access your Internet then you access the drive as your access point.

Yes you can! You download it and can use it from anywhere - no need for Internet once you've downloaded it!

If you have wifi on your router modem than you need a desktop wifi card or a USB wifi adapter to make a internet connection in this configuration with out a cable.

I would imagine if you have net connection you might find what you're looking for at windows support. I'm not exactly computer savvy sorry I couldn't answer your question
