I'm no IT bod but it was dead easy - instead of plugging into the modem your computer plugs into the wireless router and the router plugs into the modem. Then run the setup program and within minutes you should have a wireless link for your laptop and other stuff.

We currently run the wired connection to the main PC, wireless to my laptop (built in) and Matts computer in his room (via USB wireless adapter).

A word of warning - I tried one of ebuyers own, then a Belkin. Both kept dropping the wireless for no apparent reason, switching on and off was the only answer. Now run a Netgear WGR 614 and it's much much better.

Also - get a decent wireless adapter if you connect another computer that doesn't have it built-in. I got a fairly cheap one for Matt and the signal strength is not good (It's not the router because my laptop picks up a very strong signal anywhere in the house).
