I'm actually not sure why I don't know something seemingly simple like this myself, but, I hope you guys could help me know what to do here. It's about getting Internet service on my desktop PC at my mother's house. I assumed I would have to go to a local ISP for Internet service, like Comcast or Suddenlink or whoever is around here in Houston, but mother just goes, "We have WiFi, why would you need cable Internet? Just connect with WiFi." At&t is our cell phone service provider. I am typing this out right now on my phone thanks to WiFi, but I've really no idea exactly how it works. I've just known Internet through calling someone out to my place to put something into the wall, then me running an Ethernet cable from my desktop comp to a modem, and a coaxial cable from my modem and into that place in the wall. So, I guess ultimately my question is this: in this case, would all I need at this point to get Internet for my PC is a wireless network adapter and be done? Or is there something more I need and am not thinking about? Or am I just somehow way off completely and thus confusing you with my question in the first place?
I would like to get Internet on my desktop eventually while i'm living here in Houston. After all, while browsing CF is easy enough on a phone, I guess, I think my desktop would be more practical when doing things in the near future like searching for work or getting into Google Hangouts with my friends.
