Does this connect to the wifi router at my house or does it need a special card?

mine worked fine. All I did was put in my password and I was all set. What kind of condition is your router? You also might want to look at additional settings in your system preferences.

No, its not a router, it is a usb wifi card. you can use it on a laptop or desktop to connect to a network.

I'm thinking you mean, with a router. If so, yes. Just make sure that a wifi card is installed before you purchase.

Hi Alan it does not have a built in wireless card and the internet connection is a Onboard Broadcom 5754 Gigabit Ethernet with high speed DSL cable for Interent

No, it only has a 10/100 hard connection. It has one pci slot if you want to add a WiFi card however.

It's a network card. It connects you to a network. The Internet is a network. If you have an internet connection you can connect to the Internet. If you can connect to the Internet you can surf and play games online.

My 745 does not have a built-in wireless card. However, I have a thumb-nail size USB wireless adapter purchased from Belkin that connects me to my wireless router. Some of the newer routers require a password setup with encryption.

No, it does not. You would need to add an Express PCI WiFi card or use a USB WiFi adapter.

It has built in wireless, must be on the motherboard as I didn't see a separate card for it.

No, it doesn't... I bought a separate wireless card to put in the PCI-e slot... no biggie, extra 34$ which was negligible considering how much I saved in the setup

I don't believe it needs any special connection, just a land line. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, it's been awhile since I had this.

It has a really crappy built in WiFi card, you have to be next to the router.

No, you would have to buy and add a wireless network card. This can be a PCI ( internal ) or USB ( external ) type of wireless network card

It does not include an internet card, you will either need one or hook up an Ethernet cable from your router to the pc.

There's an RJ45 port on these so you don't need any card. It just plugs into your CAT5 cable like a desktop. But I would consider another: I was thinking about getting this one and the reviews made me think otherwise.

Yes cable. No card. You don't need a card for it. And if you have a wireless router you don't need the cable either.

If you mean you use this device to access your wireless router with an Ethernet cable attached to your computer's network card then yes. I use it to access my wireless router from across the house with machines that are too old to have wireless network cards. Hope this is clear.
