    Hi,

    In our office we have a Wi-fi setup, most of our laptops in the company have built in wifi but my Desktop PC doesnt have wifi. but i want to be able to access this modem. Can i get a small USB Wi-Fi adapter, I think there are some out there. just wondering does anything know a price on them and if you can get them around dublin(tallaght area) i need to get one for tonight.

    Do dixson's do anything like this ? or PC world might be a better choice??

    any info would be great.

    thanks.

    What part of the city are you in? I'm a firm believer in supporting some of the smaller computer shops scattered around the city, such as http://www.marxcomputers.ie/ in Fairview (USB wifi for €29) , http://www.micropro.ie in Nutgrove, http://www.dawnmicro.com/ in Goatstown, http://www.nowafflecomputers.ie in Firhouse. If there's one close by, you might be able to nip out and pick something up at lunchtime (if you haven't gone to lunch yet :-).

    It's always worth a call before you go to check what they have/how much it costs.
