I'm not sure what you're getting at? In your post in the Linux forum, you state that your wife has a laptop. I assume you either have a wireless cable modem or a modem with a wireless router & that you're asking about two different computers (a desktop & a laptop)? As long as the wireless settings are configured properly, it shouldn't make any difference which OS is on the desktop system.

And just out of curiousity, why do you need a 64-bit OS?

i want the 64bit for no reasons....
i was told to reset the wireless modem and it may only take once or a few times....
