    Hi All,

    I got a Philips SLA5520 internet radio yesterday.

    I have broadband but not wireless broadband. So my questions are:

    1. Do I need to get a wireless USB dongle/Adapter for my computer?

    2.Where could I get one/whats it look like?

    Sorry not very good a wireless stuff.

    Any help would be welcomed.

    Thanks

    You need a wireless router, if you don't have one. Check your current router where your internets connected an see if it has an aerial or says something on a label to say it has wireless (google the model number), wifi, 802.11b/d/g etc. If it does your in luck if not you will need one.
