You need a 802.11g wireless router. You can get that at any electronic store or Walmart for about $40US. If you have high speed Internet, you would connect the router to your cable or DSL modem. The router will then broadcast a wireless signal that your computer can use to set up a home net work access the Internet. The router will also have ports for connecting PCs with cable should you have a desktop of other non-wireless computer(s).

Wireless can use something called ad-hoc mode. If you have 2 computers you can connect them provided they both talk the same 802.11 protocol.

thats fine if you just want to send files between 2 computers, but what if you want to connect it to an existing network. You can get a wireless access point. It basically works like a switch does except that instead of connecting more wired computers together it connects wireless computers.

Do you want to share internet? In that case you need a wireless router. A wireless router is like a access point and a wired router in one. Wireless routers have a WAN port which connects to your modem. It uses something called NAT to share the internet connection with all computers connect to the router. Most wireless routers have wired ports too, so you can have a mix of wired and wireless devices.

Internet service and wireless router. If you're in a hotspot you don't need anything except the passcode.
