Default Need a wifi broadband setup. help please.

Ok, i have 2 wifi laptops at home and no telephone line.
I would like to use broadband anywhere in the flat. Bulldog do a nice 8meg line which is nice and i can sort out the phone line, no probs.

here's the tricky part. do i need a wifi router in the DSL socket? what else do i need?

can you recommend a cheapish one that's easy to set up securely that does the job so we can surf wirelessley.

Thanks for any assistance... pretty please.

I just bought this D Link DSL904 kit which includes a useful USB dongle for instant plug in wifi. It was £59 from PC World but I believe that was a special promo price as I bought a laptop as well.

we've got a Belkin set up, which includes a wireless router on our main PC, which our laptop runs off just fine. Seem to remember it was easy to set up as well.
