Laptop and Desktop Network help!

by lokiperson . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

Hiya.. This may seem silly, but I really don’t know if its as simple as i imagine. I have a desktop (a few) running from a wired router, and switching both to wireless is unfeasable right now. I recently purchased a laptop, and would like to be able to run it on the same ISP via wireless. Can i just purchase a wireless switch and run it from the wired router to enable it to use a signal? or would it be easier o just purchase a wired/wireless roter and do the same? I am in need of the laptop AND the wired desktops (as I share those)… I am quite the novice, and am looking for the easiest, cheapest solution. Can anyone help? And if so, if it takes some doing, point me in the direction of of how to do it myself? I am quite limited in movement for a while following major surgery, so crawling around a few PCs is not viable right now! LoL!! (PS The laptop has a new version of 7, the desktops XP)
