I received the pc from a friend who never used the wifi adapter and instead used an Ethernet cable and when I tried it out the adapter would connect to the internet but have no access.

I took the adapter out to find out it's a
Dynamode WL-GI-600SMF 802.11g with only 54mbps. I thought wow what is this piece of garbage??? am I right in assuming this isn't compatible with windows 7 and need to buy a new one?
