wut all do i need for wireless router?

[Stiny]

hey im picking up a wireless router soon so i can hook up my computer upstairs and my laptop down and i was wondering aside from buying the router what all will i need to hook up both my laptop and desktop computer?

the router will be hooked up directly with your pc, and you will need a PC card for your laptop unless it has one built in from the factory, which most do these days.

is it called a PC card? or is there another name for it cause my laptop was custom made about a year ago and im not sure if i had one put in it

Make sure your wirelless antenna on your laptop supports the router you are buying (or vice versa)... if it supports Wifi A/B/G, then you are good.
