Happy new year every-one.Here goes with a question that you may have heard a hundred times before,but I'm so confused by all the different options that when it comes to going in to PC World or wherever my brain seems to turn into a sponge cake in front of the wireless networking section.

What I want to know is what products I need to buy to set up a wireless network for my main PC connected at present by a Motorola 5100 surfboard cable modem.Iv'e just got a Wi-Fi laptop so I want both to have internet access.Also there is a desk top PC upstairs which I might as well do at the same time.

Is it possible to have a set-up where I can have internet access for the lappy without having to have the main PC switched on all the time?

Thanks John.
