Hello. I'm thinking of networking the 2 desktops and one laptop I have. I want to do a wireless network. We are having broadband cable internet access installed. I know the cable modem will connect directly into the wireless router, but my question is this. Do all 3PC's connect to the wireless router from wireless adapters, or does one of the PC's have to be wired to the router, and only two can be completely wireless? We don't want to share files, and the desktops have local printers. We basically just want to share internet access. Thanks.
