2nd internet connection

You will have to bare with me on this as i'm not brill when it comes to the technical side of computers lol.

I have a desktop xp broadband using a motorola surfboard cable modem sb5100 and have purchased a computer for my daughter for her bedroom to play her sims 2 as my pc isnt powerful enough where as the one i've brought her is, now what i want to know is what do i need to purchase in order for her to have internet in her room and also my sons as he will be having my daughters old one xmas.

I think i'm right in believing i need a wireless router is that all i need please help.

  • Yes, a wireless/router will do all three pc's provided they are wireless enabled or you could use USB dongles if they aren't.

    If you are with a cable company you need to ensure you buy a wireless/router that is suitable for cable, if not its one that is for adsl.
