I have 2 pc's and a laptop at home w/ Verizon DSL as our ISP. What sort of equipment do I need and how difficult is it / what is the process? It is hardwired right now, but i suppose we could go wireless. I'd be happy to hear any suggestions on this. Thanks.

technically all you need is a 4 port hub (switch would be optimum). If you want to have any wireless devices on your home network then you could use a wireless router.

You could use wireless router, but then you will need wireless adapters for two pc's. You can still have wired connection.
It is very easy, you can activate DHCP (able to give out IP's automaticall) on router. You will not have to setup your PC or any computer you wish to add to your network.
