Okay, I've just moved flat to somewhere with an ntl box wired in, so thought I'd go for cable broadband rather than adsl as it means I don't have to pay for a BT line as well.

My girlfriend and I both have laptops so would like to set up a network with both laptops going wireless. I've just spent 1.5hours at work (shhh, do't tell the boss) reading this forum, which is fantastic for someone who doesn't have a clue...(i.e. me

). My understanding is that I need a cable router (I've seen the Linksys WRT54G recommended) and a wireless network card for each laptop. Is that all I need? And will that mean the only thing that needs to be plugged in is the router into the ntl box?

Thanks for a confirmation either way, and sorry for what must be the 100000000th time this has been asked.
