Ok, im using my parents wifi connection from down the steet, i have a wireless adapter with an antenna facing the house.. i get GREAT signal

my question is how can i turn this adapter that i get internet from for my desktop INTO wifi so i can use my tablet?

right now the desktop is the only computer with internet since it has an adapter..

what do i need to make a WIFI signal from the computer? is there a usb stick or router i can buy?

I would use a wifi router connected to the Ethernet port on your desktop. You will need to enable Internet Sharing on your desktop from your wifi adapter to your Ethernet port.
