    I don't know if there is something speacil about your model but as far as I know if you have a wireless access point all you need to do is get a 802.11(A,B or G card) to access it. The main brands are D-Link, NetGear, Linksys. Sense you have a D-Link if its a wirelss router just find out if its a A,B or G and get a card to match it of the same brand. Just a suggestion though, if your router is wireless "B" get a Wireless "G" card, it is backward compatable with "B" and is faster and the newer better technology. Right now the "B" standard has a maxium speed of 11MBPS while "G" is 54MBPS (megabytes per-second). It will cost a little more though, for any average computer user the "B" card should suit there needs just fine.
