@nastytone also you can use raspi-config to setup wifi I believe.

Thank you Mitu, and Herb. I have ordered a wifi dongle. Jon

@ballboff I tried what you mentioned but nothing shows up but the same 2 options: 0 H hidden ESSID I honestly don't think its something that simple. I logged in to my router to see if it would even pick up the Pi, unfortunately it's not. Thanks for your input, I appreciate ALL the help I can get.

Thanks buddy after checking again i saw the power supply was spitting out 4.3V+- so the wifi dongle was not powering properly. I feel really dumb. 'power supply is now in trash'

@Dominus Ha! Isn't that always the way it goes. I briefly looked for an iPhone equivalent, but didn't see anything off hand.
