i have a ADSL connection, and i just got a new computer so i will have 2 now i want to connect both of them to internet at the same time. i have just one normal modem, what will i need to connect both of them to iternet wirelessly?

should i get a wireless router and a wirless modem for the other computer?
the modem i have now is very old and not wireless, the computers will be in different rooms.

    DSL Feedback: No, all you need is a cheap linksys wireless router unless either of your pcs isnt wireless ready. I would keep one of them hardwired tho. Its far easier to rectify problems with one pc wired directly to the router

    DSL Feedback: vista
    control panel
    network and sharing centre
    left pane
    set up a connection or network
    choose one and follow on screen instructions
    xp
    network connection
    left-pane set up a network

    you will get options to connect witlessly or through ethernet ports
    if you go wireless you will need the key under the wifi router

    DSL Feedback: A wireless Router will permit easy internet sharing and establish a local area network to share files and printers. A wirelss adapter would be too limiting.

    Wired is always better than Wireless, so one computer should be close to the router, so go WIRED.

    Consider this one:
    LINKSYS WRT54G2 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless-G Broadband Router – $39.99

    If you need a wireless adapter, go with this one:
    LINKSYS WUSB54GC IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128-Bit WEP, WPA – $39.99

    Good luck
