Solve : adding to a network...network adapter?

Answer»

I've just inherited a Compaq Presario desktop computer 3GB RAM running Windows 7.  I'd like to add it to my wireless network, but it does not have a wireless card(I think that's the right word) in it.  I CHECKED the Device Manager under "network ADAPTER" and the only thing listed is the ethernet thing.  My HOME is not wired for a network.  That's why I'm connecting wirelessly.  Can I simply buy a network adapter with a usb connection, set it up and be ready to go?  Or do I need to make sure that it is compatible with my router?  The router is from Verizon, if that matters.  It's Actiontec MI 424-WR.  Thanks in advanceYou can use either a USB external adapter...or an INTERNAL PCI-e internal network card...either will work.
The internal may produce a better connection although my latest USB external works FAIRLY well...

PS Router compatibility should not be an issue...but make sure the device itself is Win7 compatible.
Bring us good news...
