You need a card which supports 802.11G (it's backward compatible with the older and slower standards which are 802.11A and B). \nI just bought one from Linksys, it works fine. I would not recommend those fancy new cards with reconfigurables antennas and double bandwidth, I didn't find it worth the extra bucks.

Unless it's a laptop you're going to be struggling. You need to either:\n\nBuy a PCI - PCMCIA adapter to install on your motherboard.\n\nor\n\nBuy a PCI GPRS Wireless card.

any kind of wireless card that will be compatible with your operating system. first find out what is your system configuration. \nthen check out computer stores online/offline and check for wireless cards that are compatible with your configuration.

am sure most places can supply you with one, but make sure you have a usb2 port or it'll be dead slow, can get a usb2 pcmcia card for around £20 if you haven't.

Sure, you just get a USB wireless adapter. It is about the size of a USB flash drive. I use one for an extra desktop I have upstairs...they are about $25 on ebay.\nIf you are going to have it as a more long term thing, I would suggest a PCI card wireless adapter for a desktop. The USB ones can get pretty hot so it seems like they could get too hot for regular desktop use. Again, the PCI ones are around $25. Both you just install and put in driver.

Have your own wireless Internet card for your laptop that ends company limiting access

Well the only access you can get from Cingular is if you buy one of their Data PCMCIA cards to put in a laptop.  The only other thing they offer as of now is phone service, and that cards basically runs off the same network as their phones.  You can just use it for data on a laptop to get a decent connection to the internet.  I think it's around 150-250kbps.  I guess it would be possible to get a PCMCIA card adapter of some kind to get it plugged into your desktop computer, but you'll have to research that and who makes one if at all.  Although you would have to make sure the desktop is in an area where it would get a decent signal cause the card has a little antenna that works like a cell phone.

it's probably a little square card that plugs into your pcmcia  slots on your laptop that allows you to connect to a wireless router (like for broadband internet) at home or at starbucks or something.

I have no idea.  you could ask the people at Cnet.com for some help.  Call the Geek Squad at bestbuy.com.  or just ask the company that made the wireless internet card

Any mobile operator that can support pcmcia GSM cards with UMTS or EDGE services. They are meant for laptops, high DSL speed and high band usage so the cost turns out cheaper for you.

You will need a wireless router and a  wireless pci card for your computer. I prefer the usb variety since they can be moved easily among computers.

I do not recommend the router in the ad.  You should go to Wal-Mart and pick up a Linksys router for around $45.00.  If your laptop is already set up for wireless, then that is all you will need.  If it is not set up, then you will need to purchase a PCMCIA Wireless card.  They are about $40.00 as well.  I recommend Linksys, but there are many brands to choose from.  Two good places to see what is available at the lowest cost are http://www.geeks.com and http://www.pricewatch.com  D-Link also makes a quality Product.  Shy away from Airnet, as they are cheaply made, Blanco also are junk.  Hope this helps

If the wireless card is internal, your stuck, unless the manufacturer has a provision for an external antnna. If your using a PCMICIA wireless card, choose a new card like the Proxim, or Seano. Theses cards have a provision for an external antenna. Additionaly, to a certain extent everything has to be equal, i.e., if the Router has a 'huge' antenna-It makes no difference. The Laptop can 'here' it, but can't talk back.
