Can I get wireless internet on my windows 98?

Question

In my house I have wireless internet. A chord runs through my basement and into a wireless router into my computer. I have a mac laptop and it can get wireless internet since we have our router! Now, I was wondering if I could get internet on a windows 98 if I get a wireless USB adaptor for my windows 98. Would I get internet on my computer (windows 98) if I did this? Thanks

Answer 1

YES. Just make sure that the USB wireless adapter that you purchase has windows 98 drivers.

Answer 2

yes, it will work

Answer 3

YES!!  Windows 98 will work on a wireless system.  The only problem is make SURE that you get the drivers for the USB adapter you buy. XP and VISTA will put in the correct drivers automatically. Windows 98 will detect the device and ask you to install the drivers. The USB adaptor should come with the Windows 98 drivers, just make sure it does or that you can download them from the Internet.

Answer 4

You will have to find a wireless adapter that has drivers for Windows 98.  

Best bet is to get a USB wireless adapter, and you probably won't have to worry about wireless drivers, just USB drivers.
