i have a bt homehub i have 2 pcs connected by ethernet and 1 laptop connected wirelessly. works perfect and is easy to set up. make sure you install the bt software in each pc and it should give you a connection option.

There are many things to consider. Does your house have thick walls or do you want lots of range? If so, buy a router like a Netgear MIMO Rangemax that can reach further.
If you have no special requirements, I recommend a Netgear because they're really easy to use (and better than BTs stuff). If you are connecting through a BT line, you need an >>>> adsl router <<< such as a Netgear DG834G. Do not buy a DSL/Cable Router as they only work with cable lines like ntl.
If you live in an elevated position I'd also recommend a Belkin surge protector for the phone line as those routers are a bit fragile, as I learnt.

Go for the BT Home Hub. It's wireless and you can run a phone from it as well as a laptop and a PC.

I tried Belkin and it was dreadful. I had nothing but trouble. I then tried the BT's oen router etc and its great. I've had no problems with it and the helpline is good too (rang up for a diffferent reason). Can take ages to get through, but they know what they are talking about. Or did in my case.

You need a Wireless router. Call BT and see if you can upgrade through them.
Or, get one at any computer store. Choose by price.
Then, read the router user manual to connect your WiFi PC.
