general wireless setup queries, please advise

Hi guys and girls im new to the forum

I have a dell desktop pc which is very new. I have broadband supplied by tescos at 1mb and this is all very good for what i use it for. we generally use the computer to play World of warcraft online and the 1mb connection is more than adequate.

I have recently started to need a laptop for work so have decided to get one thats wireless ready. As a side issue i will also use it for online gaming alongside the desktop at the same time (2 users, we are addicted lol).

In readiness for the laptop arrival i have upgraded my internet connection to 2mb.

I need to get a wireless router i guess but have a few queries.

What speed router do i get?? will it work with the modem ?? (think its nec) what speed to i get, 54?? i was told 108 is a must for online gaming?

also how is the router ect connected?? im guessing the modem plugs into it? will i need to convert my desktop to wireless?? or can i still use cable in situ??

will i notice any decrease in game performance when both using it at same time? like i say at the minute 1mb is fine and i have doubled it in anticipation.

many thanks in advance - p.s i have not bought a router or laptop yet
