I have a really dumb question - can you connect a PC with no wireless card to a router via an ethernet cable and still have an internet connection?
My mom has an old PC (6 year old Dell Inspiron with Vista) with no wireless card, and now that a couple of her friends have iPads, she wants one too. So I will be getting her a router for her condo so she can play with her iPad. But she will still want to use her desktop computer sometimes for the larger screen size. Do I need to buy a wireless adapter for the PC or just connect it to the router with a cable?
