Can answer 1 for you. yes, you can get wireless adaptors for a desktop. they come in 2 types. The PCI that goes in the computer on a open PCI slot, and the USB type. Witch plugs into any USB post. you can get the USB in speeds from 54mbs to 300 mbs and the higher the more cost. As far as questions 2. haven't gotten to play with one yet. So can't help much.
