Now this bit confuse's me, what do i need to buy to connect it to the net? a router or a access point.
My understanding is the access point plugs into the exsisting router and that access points works with my laptop.
Am I correct
If so, can someone reconmend a good bit of kit?

You just need an access point, but the cost differential means it may be better and easier to manage to buy a wirless (including wired) router instead and replace the current router.
The WRT54G from the same linksys would be a direct swapin and would then provide the 4 lan ports and a wireless lan
EDIT
WRT54G (router and access point combined) £40.88 from amazon
WAP54G (access point) £44.06 from amazon
So it is cheaper to buy a new combined product - go figure, sell the current one on ebay!
