Hi,
I have a desktop computer at home connected up
to Telewest Broadband Cable Internet. I am wanting
to make my laptop connect wirelessly to the
internet. If I buy a router to plug into the
cable modem, does that mean my laptop will
connect wirelessly WITHOUT having to turn the desktop
computer on?
thanks,
Craig.

Yes
All you need is a wireless router and a wireles
card for your laptop if it does not have
built-in wireless capability.
you can plug your modem into wan port and your
PC to lan port of the new wireless router,
you can allways have wireless connection to your
laptop without the main PC switched on.
