A wireless router -- connect it to your cable modem, run the configuration programs and you should be all set. Pay particular attention to the security, though, or you'll be providing internet to the neighborhood.

You will need 1 wireless router, 5 wireless adapters. You install the wireless adapters in the computers and then hook up the router to the main computer. The router will come with software to install and configure the router.

You'll need an 8 port wireless router or switch. What you do is plug your DSL or Cable modem into it, and then configure your laptops to talk to the wireless router or switch. Make sure you put some type of encryption key on the wireless so noone can hack you. I recommend 128-Bit WEP keys. If the computers aren't laptops then you'll need wireless cards for the computers as well. Here are some links for the equipment.

you need to go to best buy right now and talk to them, about that, because is very easy but just when you know how do it your self, and very difficult to explain.
