How do you use a flash drive to connect wirelessly from your router to a laptop?

I can connect to the router already through an ethernet cable. I already set everything up, but the laptop can't be used wirelessly. How can I do this with a flash drive? Is there some type of flash drive I need or will any work?How do you use a flash drive to connect wirelessly from your router to a laptop?
USB wireless adapters can look exactly like a USB flash drive, but they are not the same thing. There are other types though, such as ';PC Card'; or internal.





It is possible that your laptop already has an internal wireless adapter that just needs to be set up.





Whatever type of adapter you have (or need) it must match your routers wireless protocol. If you are sure your router is wireless; it could be IEEE 802.11 (aka WiFi) or Bluetooth or possibly even something else. Then you have to figure out the generation. If your adapter is an older generation than your router; it may work, but it will be as slow as the older generation.





If you do need an adapter the cost can vary wildly. For $5 to $10 you can get a no-name, old generation adapter shipped from online. If you want a brand-name, current generation adapter from a retail store it will be more like $50.
