I know absolutely nothing about computers. I have a ET1641 and I need wifi to hook up to my landlord's router (please excuse any horrible mangling of computer speak, I think that's what its called) What do I have to get to make this thing wifi capable (compatible?) It runs windows vista, as you all probably know. I chatted with the support tecnicians to try to get some help but since the computer is no longer under warranty they couldn't even tell me what to buy! Any help would be much appreciated since I need my desktop for an online class I'm taking and I don't want to download a bunch of school crap onto my son's laptop (I got him the laptop specifically so he wouldn't use my computer all the time so it would be hypocritical of me to be using his) Thank you for any help you all can give me.

If your landlord already has a wifi router, then just get an adapter for your rig. There are many brands but if you like to play it safe then just get something from linksys as they are one of the most common brands used. You can look at the different types here (though you need not buy from the Egg).
