Joined the Broadband revolution - how do I go wireless??

Hi, we've just signed up for Broadband but now don't have a clue how to go wireless.

Please could someone tell us what we need and how we do it? :confused:

DH has done some research but still not very clear so please could someone let us know

Many thanks

    Who did you sign up with? Did you get a free modem?
    Depending on what you've got, you'll either need a wireless router ( that connects to the modem) or a wireless modem router ( ie modem is built in). See what your provider is offering otherwise you may have to buy separately. I got a basic free modem (usb connection) and then went for a modem router several months later. Not cheap option of doing things. Might be cheaper to speak to your new ISP whilst the order is ongoing and see what you can get.
    P.S
    The advantage of doing it that way is you should get technical support from your ISP for the product you bought.
