Dear friends,
There is a problem with my desktop's ethernet port. I am using Qtels home broadband wifi router. Is there any wireless usb connector available to use with my desktop?

Other options:

1. Update the firmware & drivers of the Internet Card

2. Try a different Ethernet cable

3. Purchase a PCI or PCI-E Ethernet card and disabling the faulty Ethernet device via the drivers on the control panel. This may be a cheaper option and more secure since its hardwired but requires some easy hardware installation.

Good luck!

....Don't insist on 3COM if you don't find it, LinkSys also is a comparable networking hardware brand but could be a bit pricy.

Yes, use 3COM OfficeConnect Wireless 54Mbps 11g Compact USB Adapter available for less than QR 100 @ Sofitel. You can also use Belkin but I find 3COM better. Run the supplied driver, plug the adapter in one of the USB ports and you are connected wirelessly to your home Wireless Router.
