First you must have braodband.
Thn just go ahead and by an router/access point. 802.11g is recommened. These come wih all the easy set up instructions.
If you want to be wireless then your computers need either a built in b/a chip or you need o buy a PCMIA card. usually your desktop is close enough to use ethernet cable.

If not even some disk cleansing classes like CCleaner or defragmenting the problematical stress utilising Defraggler facilitates and also you're fairly particular that there aren't any extra infections contained in the computer then possibly the excellent ingredient to do is reset the computer to production facility defaults. of route you'll pick to lower back up your records or bypass them to a diverse partition except stress C. also pick to record down all of your product keys to the classes you've put in. keep in mind what drivers you'll pick to position in later.
