| Newbie with new laptop guys, can you tell me what i need to buy to connect wirelessly at home? Currently have desktop computer connected to broadband - what do I need to use the internet on laptop in a different room of the house? Also, can the desktop still be connected too so I can use that when I want to? Cheers |
