Linksys WRT54G has option to set high or low priority to either individual applications or to individual ports - the latter would suit your needs.

It would basically mean that - once correctly set up - if you were surfing, your machine would have bandwidth priority over the others. If your machine were off it wouldn't make any difference to the other machines.

Linksys can be had for ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£40-50. Wireless cards for the PC's for ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20-30, poss cheaper (been a while since I looked), and a PCMCIA card / USB wireless for the laptop won't be much more.
