You need a wireless cable/DSL router. Plus, if your laptop isn't wireless enabled, a wireless USB adapter for it. E.g. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/cat/Wireless/subcategory/Cable-/-DSL-Routers

If you are on BT they have an offer on at the moment for Broadband and free Wireless Hub etc.

I moved on to this system just before Christmas and it is fantastic!


Have a look at the BT.com pages

They are not on BT as they use NTL.

Yes a good buy and those plug in PCMIA cards are a better bet than a USB dongle.

First you'll need something like:

I'm assuming your laptop is wireless-enabled? If not, you'll need something like:

That's all you'll need.
