Desperatly need some wirless network help please

Hi Guys, what a day, our Bigpond gateway failed today and we had to up grade to a Bigpond Mobile WI-FI 4G.

Well that was fun, not even the techs could get it working on any of our computers.

So here is the situation, Alice has a wifi switch on her lappy, but the unit will only function when it is connected with a USB lead

I have a lappy with no wifi. and a desktop as well, presently they cannot connect to anything.

So guys what do i do here, can i buy a adapter and shove into either the lappy or desktop and then get reception on the net this way.

I am truly buggered here and need some good advice please, and in easy to understand steps please.

I was told by the techs that our running system, being XP may not be able to handle the newer technology.

Frustrated and not sure how to go about this, so i ask all the experts

Many Thanks.

Leon
