[Njtechdiv] Wireless connect doodad

[Tracy Carcione]

The Optimum guy just came, and he says the new box doesn’t talk at all, even though the website says it does.  I’m so disappointed.  I thought at last I would have something accessible from these jokers, but no.  Unless the tech they sent doesn’t have a clue.

But I don’t need to rewire my connections, which is something.

I hate Optimum.

If what you're looking to do is add wireless connectivity to your desktop, a USB to WiFi adapter would do the job.  You can get them pretty cheaply.  Picking something arbitrarily, something like this <https://www.amazon.com/EDUP-ac600Mbps-Wireless-External-10-6-10-13/dp/B01CCMUN8C/ref=lp_13983791_1_2/137-4553336-2757840?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1545665992&sr=1-2> .

Happy holidays to everyone!

Cablevision is giving me a Christmas present of a new, accessible cable box!  Hope it works like the website says it does.  It’s supposed to talk for everything.

But it means I have to switch my old desktop from Ethernet to wireless, and the old PC doesn’t seem to have a way to access wireless.  I only see LAN on the network connections page.

Do I need a doodad to make it able to connect wirelessly?  If so, what’s the doodad called, so I can look for it on Amazon?

Thanks.

Tracy
