Wireless question from technophobe

[DanDare]

I have a laptop in one bedroom connected to an old NTL Modem.
:confused:
What do I need/want to be able to put the laptop in my study and have a wireless connection.:confused:

I'm not looking for anything expensive or fancy, just enought to be able to easily and simply connect to the net.

I looked on the PC World website, and they baffled me with Routers, ADSL, memory cards and chickens.....maybe not the last then.:oops: :smt117

Thanks in advance

Option 1:
Replace your NTL modem with a modem/router that supports Wifi
Option 2:
Add a Wifi card to your laptop, and do connection sharing.

Option 1 is easiest, and doesn't rely on the laptop being on/present.
