If you use ethernet and the motherboard has an ethernet port, then you don't need an adapter.

Install the motherboard LAN driver from CD and plug in your ethernet cable into the motherboard. Simple.

If you can't use the built-in ethernet, use another computer to download the files you need, put them on a flash drive, and then do it like that.

To use wireless you will need an adaptor, assuming your motherboard doesn't have built in wi-fi.

 

To get on the internet the adaptor should come with a CD with the drivers on it. If you don't have a cd drive you can simply copy the driver to a usb on another computer.

I've got this one in my system, and it's been good so far:

Not a fancy brand or anything, but it's dual band, 3 antenna, and has native windows 8/8.1 drivers.
