Default Wireless connection

I have an ancient computer running on windows 98 upstairs. I was wondering what I need to get a wireless connection on it. I don't really care if the connection is slow. All I see in the back that is internet related, is an ethernet cord place.

What do I need to get wireless on it?

A wireless ethernet adapter most old computers dont have it but new labtops mostly have it.

Wireless card.

Im pretty sure Linksys has some that can go into the USB.

Otherwise, just use the Verizon hotspot Wireless Card, since that only works with USB slots.
