I have a 2MB STB Broadband connection and I'm using an Actiontec 1(?) port Wireless Cable/DSL Router Model No: R3010UW (supplied by NTL) and an USB 802.11b Adapter attached to PC.

I'm quite knowlegeable about computers but not so hot on the networking side of things. My wife quite fancies a laptop to do some coursework, some of it, maybe a lot, on internet-and I don't want to give up my connection.

My question is how would I go about that sharing my connection?

Is it as simple as buying another usb adaptor and plugging it in to laptop?

Will I have to buy new router etc etc

I'd be grateful for any advice.
