Go to Start/programs/Accessories/Communications - Wireless wizard will be listed. If not, you dont have Wifi.

How far away from the router is the PC to be situated?

[fruitsalad]

Chuck its roughly 8 metres away from where the pc is

so If possible 10 meter Ethernet cable is your best bet then.

If not a wireless card for the PC, if you really have to use wireless don't bother with a USB adaptor, they get crap reception and are too easily broken. get a PCI on to put in the computer.
