Ok so I was Reading Wi-Fi for dummies and I am going to go with 802.11g standard And anyway i need to ask if i want to use my laptop wirlessly for the internet (not bothered about networking) but it would be an extra so do i have to get both my laptop and desktop enabled wirlessly or just the laptop and i can plug the modem straight in to the desktop still also does the modem plug into the router then the router into the phone line (and the power obviously) or do i have to do something else aswell so basically can someone plz tell mne what i need
I basically want to share an internet connection between my 2 computers and from what i understand from wi-fi for dummies you plug the modem into the router (i have bt broadband) then the router to the phoneline do i need my desktop wirelessly enabled aswell or will i be able to plug it into the USB port still
all-in-all i want to know what i need o get and how to fit it together so i know in advance

Yes, you plug the modem into the router, then the router to the internet connection line (phone line, DSL, broadband internet connection, etc.)

I don’t think you can hook up the modem directly to the desktop PC using USB. But your desktop computer has Ethernet ports then just run an Ethernet cable between there and an Ethernet port on your router.

You might be able to find more information here if needed:

Hope this helps,
Eric
