    You will need a router in order to enjoy wireless internet. You can save a lot of money depending on what router you buy. There’s really cheap ones (I’ve seen $10 ones) and there’s more expensive ones ($40-$70). Do some research on the router you’re planning to buy. A little bonus is that most routers you can configure a wireless network in order to wirelessly print and send files to other computers! That might be something that you might consider in your purchase. Best of luck!

  2. you will need a wireless router if you dont have one and you want to have wireless.

  3. Yes, if you want to run wireless you will need a wireless router.
