I've read all the faq stuff but still ain't 100% sure.
Planning on buying a new dell laptop, with wireless card built in.
Now i need to choose a router for it.
I currently use Virgin.net via a USB modem on my main PC.
I want a setup, where i don't have to have my main computer switched on to use the laptop.
will this do the job?
Belkin F5D7632 ADSL Modem/Wireless Router (802.11g)?
Will i need a wireless card for my pc if i go with this setup or can i be hard wired?

Should be ok with this router. You wont need a wirless card for th epc as th emodem will be wired direct to it, Good luck

any of these will do it, provided you have an ethernet card in your PC.
