and i was wondering can i get a wifi connection even though i dont plug it into my computer. i have a cable modem for my internet, but i use a usb cable for my internet because i have an older computer that doesnt have ethernet ports. could i do it by just connecting router to the cable modem or do i have to have ethernet ports on my computer. and should i get the netgear or linksys? thank you

All routers work, Belkin, Linksys, and Netgear. I have a Belkin now but Linksys earlier.
Buy a USB wifi card. You really don't need to cable a computer to a router, but it is not as fast as a cable.
I use a USB Netgear device for one of my computers, an old one without a PCI card slot.

Okay given ur situation, i would go with a USB wireless card and itll access the WIFI via USB port and then a Linksys router, i prefer it by a mile over netgear, and set up the wireless which i assume you know how and yeah its all good from there.

You just connect the wireless router (Netgear or Linksys, but i prefer Neatgear) from the cable, and you would get a wifi connection. But your pc should have a wifi card in order to connect to the wifi network you made..
Hope it helps & good luck,
