Wireless USB adapter is your best bet if youre looking for simplicity.

Just plug it in and follow the instructions in the install disc. Very easy.

    I want to make my desktop computer wireless, how exactly can I do this? Do I have to install a wireless card in my PC? Is there another way?

    I've read I can use a usb wireless adaptor. Are these difficult to install?

      No they are not difficult to install. buy one, and follow the instructions in the manual. Personally I've never seen the value of wifi on a desktop. if its going to sit in one place, you might as well run a line and get the full bandwidth of your gigabit network, instead of crippling your connection.

      Three reasons for desktop WiFi: I have a dodgy internet connection, but interruptions never last long enough for ISP to find and repair, so next-door's WiFi is a useful standby; I also use next-door's WiFi when I want to test my network from outside my intranet; and I occasionally need to move the the desktop to another room for a while. I use a USB adapter, available for around £10 in UK, but if you are short of USB ports you can use a cheap router in AP Client mode.
