Hi there
I have recently set up a wirless network at home and to be honest it went pretty smooth was dreading it i know how much trouble i have had in the past.
I use a Linksys Access point/Router and a Linksys wireless card in my laptop, so you are looking to run a home pc and two laptops off one broadband connection, there are many packages out there to do this.
you will need a wirless access point which you may as well wire direct to the home pc and then 2 wireless cards for the laptops.
here is a links of a pasckage that should do exactly what you ask:
1) http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/product....67e8a925bb84c4
or ebuyer.co.uk are very cheap im suer many people can recomend some places that offer a all in one package that should get you up and running.
Im very happy with my Linksys setup so i definetly recomend them, its all a bit much to take in to start with i know but you will soon get the hang of it.
I dont recommend Pc world as they charge way over the odd's for hardware only ever come in usefull if its a i need it now situaution.
hope i have not confused you even more
cheers
Leslie
