I have a small wired home network. 3 computers all wired to my router which connects to my cable modem. I am going out of town in a week for several days, but want to take my desktop computer with me (I do not own a laptop). The hotel I am staying at has a wireless network. Am I correct in assuming that if I buy a wireless network card such as This would that be all i need to connect to the internet?


Any help/input/other options would be appreciated,

Thank You

Just to make sure before I waste money, the link I provided in my first post should be everything I need? I don't need to find out what type of wireless router the hotel is using like, G, Super G, or N ? And I all will need to do is turn my computer on inside the hotel and it should work?



Sorry for all the questions but I will be bored out of my mind if I get there and it doesn't work :(


Thanks in advance

Some hotels will provide USB wireless adapters for guests to use to connect to their network. You might even want to call their front desk and ask before you spend money on an adapter that you will only be using for a week.
