Going Wireless AdviceI have a Netgear DG834G which is a Wireless ADSL Router
which works fine and is somewhat cheaper than the Draytek router although it
doesn't have all it's features, but the Netgear covers the vast majority of
peoples needs and can be had for around 70 notes.

Hi Graham,
This is the ideal, but not necessarily the cheapest.
As Andrew Hodgeson and I will tell you, you require a Wireless ADSL Router -
preferably one of the Draytek models which both of us use extensively. But
see below.
You then may need two extra items.
Your own PC will require a network card - unless of course it already has a
network port. A network cable then connects you to the ADSL Router.
Your wife's laptop will also require a WIRELESS network card. However, her
laptop may already have Centrino technology, which, by any other name, is a
wireless card built in to the laptop. This will give your wife freedom to
move about the house with her laptop.
However, many laptops also have a network connection built in. So if she
doesn't mind being shackled to the Router with a cable, she can still share
an internet connection via the router, and of course you then do not need to
have a router of the wireless variety.
Which ever way, you can both use the internet at the same time, and even if
you have different Internet suppliers.
Can I suggest you find out if both your PCs a network connection or not, and
we'll take it from there?
And if you are not sure, tell us the make and model of each, and we may be
able to find out for you via the internet.
George.
