Thanks for your time,
Alice
 
You need a wireless network card in your laptop, a
wireless router and two network cables. That's it.
Instructions on how to set it up come with the router.
 
Thanks for your quick reply....Sorry if this sounds stupid but, what do I
need the cables for?

Alice
 
eft,

Cables not really necessary if going down the ADSL modem router path. I
have a wireless ADSL modem which connects to my line where it comes into
house, and my 2 PC's and laptop connect wirelessly. Although, Alice does not
specify whether ADSL or dial up, I have assumed ADSL.
