Device needed for connecting Desktop PC to internet through WiFi

[Pragadheesh]

Hi,

I want to connect my desktop PC to internet through Wifi. My motherboard is Intel 865. I donot have an Ethernet card. I have a router.
1) So can I just buy something like a Wifi dongle using which my PC can catch the wifi signals from the router and connect to internet.?
2) Do I need to have a ethernet/LAN card on the desktop?

Looking for some stable and reliable device. I am not much aware of the wifi products. Could you suggest some good device which would satisfy my needs. Something with good speed as well.

Thanks in advance.

A USB Wi-FI dongle is what you need.

I inquired in quite a few shops in Bangalore and I could find only these two models.
1) Belkin N150 Wireless USB Adapter - Rs 1175(1st shop); Rs 975(2nd shop); Rs 875(3rd shop)
2) Netgear wna1100 n150 - Rs 950(1st shop).

Which of the two is better and how much do they cost in Bangalore(any idea).? Also are the 'N' series better than the 'G' ones.?
