    to go wireless you need either a wireless router, or a wireless USB adaptor connected to the system that is directly conected to the router

    Edit:
    i think wireless is slower than wired, check this [google]wireless speed[/google]

    Standard wifi 54g connections are fast enough for any home internet connection, you won't see a slowdown in internet speed, however if you're transferring large files over the network locally, then you'll notice a difference in speed.

    If you already have a wired router, then you do not need a wireless router. Instead you need a wireless access point which can connect to your existing router. Otherwise you'll need a wireless router.
