my non-wireless computer question

Happy Holidays

I have a question I hope you can help me with. I have a HP desktop computer that's approx. 5 years old that doesn't have a wireless card installed. I have cable internet (DSL?) with a modem and didn't have a need for wireless internet.

I ordered a Coby 7" tablet with • Connect to the Internet wirelessly with high-speed networking support (Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g) and then realized ... I don't have wireless.

Can I buy a wireless router to connect to the internet with the tablet without having to buy a wireless adapter for my computer? rolleyes

Thank you

 

Yes. Wireless routers have ethernet ports on them - usually 4 ports. You'll need one more ethernet cable (usually included) to connect the modem to the wireless router. The PC will then connect by ethernet to the wireless router instead.
