OK guys want to go wireless at home.

On BT broadband at present, using a dell PC. (not wireless compatable, I think)

Just ordered a Dell laptop and it arrives tomorrow. (wirless compatable)

So what are the bits I need to go wireless?

Just get the wireless router and wire up the pc to it.

You obviously have your phone socket near to the PC - so plug your router into that and your PC into the router.
