As you mentioned, your Compaq Presario MV520 is using Windows 98 OS. As we all know, dial-up connection is the only available internet connection at that time so obviously Win 98 has dial-up LAN connection. However, you wanted to have wireless connection on that PC so you need to install a wireless adapter to that PC. First of all, most wireless adapters that are being used for desktop PC are wireless USB adapter, so you need to have a USB port on that PC. And also, you will need to check if the software for the wireless adapter will be accepted by the PC because since the PC is using Win 98 OS, we are not sure if the firmware of the wireless adapter will be compatible to the PC. Basically, my answer would be not possible.

• hard wire the laptop to the router, which reestablishes the connection.
• set the connection to be wireless
• follow the prompts and you will soon be wireless again

Hi, to connect your computer to the wireless network of the router you need to have a wireless adapter. The bluetooth adapter will not work in this case as the router does not communicate with the bluetooth signals.

Purchase a wireless adapter like NETGEAR WG111

Rate it, if it helps.

Hello,

No, I am afraid not. the bluetooth adapter will not connect to your wireless router because as of now there is no router that support that function.

you can buy a USB wireless adapter instead.

thank you for using Fixya

yes. you can use the gaming adapter on your PC as a wireless adapater and connect wirelessly to the wireless router to gain internet access.

you could its called an ad-hoc connection..but youneed either a wireless adapter on your desktop or a network hub
