Thanks for the advice. Makes sense apart from one thing.

The one thing is the desktop PC connection and whether that can remain "wired" rather than wireless..... I'm a bit confused about that one.

I assume that if the desktop is connected to the Wireless router via ethernet cable then the dektop PC will effectively be using a wired connection. Is that right?

Also, my desktop PC and cable modem are upstairs in the house, so the wireless router will likely be upstairs too. The laptop will be used mostly downstairs..... I assume that the signal/connection quality should be fine in this scenario? Or would I be better trying to situate the wireless router downstairs with a longer ethernet cable running upstairs to the cable modem.

Thanks again.
