I have a few more questions for all you techy experts out there....

So a wireless adapter will allow me to use my computer's wired DSL connection to connect to my n800 wirelessly?

Will walls be an obstacle in receiving a wireless signal from the adapter?

Where is the best place to plug in the adapter?

Is any wiring required in installing the adapter?

Are there any other devices besides the one brontide pointed out that would work?
- walls can be an obstacle... direct through a wall is less of a bother than an oblique angle... get the wifi router as high as possible...

- there are many DSL/wifi routers out there... (you don't say who your provider is, but Verizon was including one with its service a few years ago)...
