Hi ya, you could easily put an internal Wireless card in yourself, as somewhere like PC World, will probably rip you off and charge you £40 for about 15-20 minutes work.

Hello pokooo,

There are a variety of external wireless adapters available. I would recommend something along the lines of this Linksys adapter: Newegg.com - LINKSYS WUSB54G IEEE 802.11b/g USB 1.1/2.0 Wireless-G Adapter up to 54Mbps Data Rates WEP Encryption, WPA Security, CCX 2.0 - Retail

Hi,

This will do absolutely fine for your needs. Belkin aren't the best manufacturer of PC parts/peripherals in the World but I have used a couple of these USB dongles in the past and they haven't let me down. It's the quickest, safest way for you to go.
BELKIN F5D7050UK at PC World - Buy cheap Wireless Network Cards - BELKIN F5D7050UK WIRELESS 54G USB NETWORKING ADAPTER
