Couple of Noob questions

Well, the engineer has not long departed leaving me with a 1 meg pipe. He was a nice chap but not very clued up on installation of the 'Broadband Installer' disc I got with the modem. Reading through the blurb, it seems that this disc is only for use if you are connecting directly to the cable modem and does not mention wireless networks - which I want to set-up.

My main questions are:
1. Do I need to install this 'Broadband Installer' disc if I'm going wireless with a Linksys router and 2 laptop set up?

2. I will be using a new lappy for my connection but wondered how I keep my NTL e-mail addy - from my old dial up account. I'm assuming I have to go into Outlook Express and tinker but what with?
Many thanks in advance and sorry if I posted in the wrong forum.
