Hey everyone, apologies if this is the wrong category.

My girlfriend has a really ancient laptop, as in it's not even wi-fi capable. She'd like to be able to use it when she has the day off and I'm at work, but she can't connect it to the Internet and it's a bit of a hassle to get a cable to run to her laptop from where the modem is. I tried to get her a USB wifi adapter once, but it wouldn't connect to my Airport Express.

Is there a certain type of adapter that's needed to work with the Airport Express? And if so, what is it?
 
Anything 802.11b/g/n capable, which is pretty much everything out there these days, should work.
