Ok you need a wireless router, somthing like a Netgear DG834GT
then you need a wireless network card for each pc, unless they already have them.
Thats it.....some small config of the router is needed to make it secure.
whole setup should cost no more than 60-70 of your english pounds.

Wanadoo do a wireless box - just got a new phone from Orange for £12.50 a month, offer of broadband for £9.99 a month and the wireless box is normally another £4 but those are free for 6 months - so I got a new Sony K750, Wireless box 2mb broadband for £22.49 for 6 months (rising to £39 after 6 months).
decent deal I thought.

I've been mesing around with my wireless kit for a month or so now and felt like I was getting knowhere. I've just changed to a netgear DG834 , I found it very easy to setup compared to the dlink I had before and it does what it say's on the tin (unlike the dlink 604)
