Default Wireless.

I am looking to buy a new p.c. and have narrowed the choice down to a Zoostorm model with Windows 7. It says it is not wireless, would I need wireless for anything important?. Will I still be able to download my e.mails and e.books to my tablet?. Thanks, John.

Unless you can't connect your PC to the router with the LAN cable for some reason, you would need a Wireless card stuck in any Desk top PC to allow it to connect to your wireless router..

But it will not affect your tablet/Phone etc as these will talk to the wireless router on their own !!

assuming you are going to locate the PC in the same location, just use the same yellow cable.

The yellow cable will be an ethernet connection, which would be much better (faster) than using a wireless connection anyway.
