Full Version: Will a usb dongle work for my desktop?
i am not sure if a usb dongle will work on my hp desktop with kalyway installed. I guess it should, but i dont want to buy it then have it not work. should i get one that works with windows and mac? or just mac? And has anyone had any problems with usb dongles on a hackintosh desktop? Please let me know.
Alright, forget what i said before. I went to bestbuy and they said i needed to but an airport express, for $100. and i dont have that much money. so i bought a Belkin USB Network Adapter designed for windows, just to go home with something. of course it didnt work. i just want to know, is there anyway i can use my desktop wirelessly? i have a router in my house, so it would be perfect.

Proper desktop solution range from $50.00 to $135.00 depending on your needs, this item they are offering for $100.00 as an AirPort Express doesn't sound like an apple product because as far as I know, I am the only OEM manufacturer of real desktop AirPort wireless devices.
No other product you buy will give you real AirPort functionality, since money is an issue and you took the cheapest thing you could find, your time would be better spent searching all the Belkin USB adapter threads to see who got this device you have working.
