     Wireless adapters are outrageously expensive for something that I can teach you how to do with what you have. This trick can save you the $100 on the official Wireless Adapter that Microsoft greedily sells in the stores. For those of you that have spent money on one, then you just have cleaner looking model.

Note: This is for Windows 7.
