I have just moved into a new apartment and there is wi-fi there. Can I get any model of wi-fi reciever to in the back of my pc or does it have to be the same brand as the router?
thanks

Any brand shouls work just fine as long as it uses a compatable protocol. ie... 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n.

Any brand should work. The only thing that matters is what kind of reciever it is. You should find out if the network is 802.11 A, B, or G. Also, there are some networks that are wireless N. Just ask the network administrator.

It can be any brand, but must use the same Wi-Fi standard, such as 802.11a, b, or g. Find out which is being used first.

Wireless N routers are backward compatible and will work with 802.11b/g network cards. As long as they are using a 802.11a router, then don't worry about what you get.

As long as it is a reputable brand, it will work with any router. It is all magic. They are radios.
