Wireless network

[rvhking]

Hello,
I am trying to set up a wireless network within my home, i have a external hard drive and was wondering can i connect this to my internet router to make it accessible in order to stream music and movies from the hard drive. there is no ethernet port on the hard drive but seen a usb to ethernet adapter is this all that would be needed?

thanks in advance

a regular usb to ethernet adapter (NIC) will not work.

you will need one of these
