You need to buy a router like netgear, plug it into with the dsl router, setup a wireless network. That's what we had to do.

You need a wireless router. Try googling Linksys, Belkin, Netgear and Airlink wireless routers.

Best option is to get a wireless router. Get one with ports so you can plug the desktop into it, unless you want to get a wireless card for the desktop too.

If you already have a home router, you can get a wireless AP and plug it into the router.
