Connecting wirelessly to DSL modem
Rather complicated networking situation here. We have DSL at our house, coming in through a modem/router, which we then pipe through a switch so both my brother and I can use it. No big deal there. However, we have at least one other computer we'd like to get online that can't be physically connected to this modem.
My idea was to just use a wireless card to connect to the switch, and feed off our DSL. Except, I'm not entirely sure what hardware we need to do this. This isn't exactly a conventional setup here, and I've never fussed with wireless networks before. Is a wireless router connected to the switch all I'd need? Would we need more than one to connect two wireless computers? Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

So what I'm looking for is a combo router/switch/wireless thingy, and I'll just use it to replace the switch we're using now? I was figuring all-in-one devices like that would be expensive too.
EDIT: Yeah, I found what I need. Seems simple enough, if a bit pricey. $50+ isn't really what I was hoping to spend on this, but we'll see. Thanks for the advice! There's nowhere I can't reach.
