is there a mini plug to connect to the wire
router?
thus, I would not interrupt the 2 pcs on my shared
dsl line and the laptop could share the DSL
via wireless [through some gizmo I plug
into the wired router?].

I'd replace the existing router with a wireless router that contains 2 or more ethernet ports. The wireless router plugs in directly to the existing ADSL modem for the internet feed. The ethernet ports are for your two wired PC's. The wireless connectivity of the router is for the laptop. I have this setup at home, and it works extremely well. Wireless routers are really cheap nowadays. I have a Netgear WGT624, and I can recommend it.

The answers above are allright - buy a router, set up a wireless network , pc can be still wired if you prefer. My only advise, becouse you want to connect a wii, so I assume you're interested in playing games online - buy smth with good speed (they are market as G, G+, N) take the netgear rangemaster N - it will be powerfull enough to carry the conection for couple devices with very good speed. If u want to use a dongle (adapter) to make your pc wireless u need to remember that they need to be compatibile with your router speed (so with G speed router you need to have G speed dongle an so on) Hope it makes sense:)

you need a wireless router. if the router is just a wired one, the wifi will not work.
most wireless routers come with 2 or 4 ports too so some computers can be wired and some wireless.

You need a wireless router - not an add on.
Wireless routers also have ethernet plugs so that you can connect both.

If you have a wireless router, thats all you need. If you dont, I have to do more research. For 20 dollars you can buy a new wireless router.
