Default What else do i need to set up my Wireless nwetwork?

Just sorted out a wireless router from BT and it will be here in a few days.

Not too sure whats best to get for connecting my PC and my laptop to the network.
I see that you can get either USB adaptors or cards for the laptop and also you get the ones with the Ariel's to fit to the PC.

Usb looks to be the cheaper option but I don't know what to do to be honest.

Advice welcome

I have had loads of hassle with wireless PCI cards in PC's. Belkin do a wireless USB aerial that has an extension cable and a little holder so it can sit on top of the PC or on your desk somewhere.

The same product is also suitable for the laptop without the extension cable. Belkin stuff is usually OK but if you have a problem their support lines/on line help is useless.

I tend to use ZyXel kit myself.

I have a dlink DWLG122 wireless USB adapter at home, but the ****** keeps overheating and disconnecting,
I have installed Netgear 3111's at the PC's at work (runa 108mbps wireless network), and they have been connected to our wireless network for 6 months without any issues.
