Answer 2

Very few, read that NO, desktops come with built in wireless. You will need to add a wireless adapter. A usb adapter is usually the easiest (since you don't have to open the computer.)

They are available from many places and usually aren't to difficult to setup and install. There are some at
http://geeks.com for less than $15.00.

Unless you specifically ordered your Dell Desktop with a wireless adapter, it will not have one! Desktops are assumed to be in a "fixed" position and thus since they are not moved around and used in various places they just aren't built with wifi like laptops.
