Wireless router or access point??

Comment:

I currently have a pc connected to broadband via adsl modem. I have a laptop that I want to be able to use wirelessly. I want to be able to use the pc on the internet (with same settings as now - hardwired) and the laptop on the internet wirelessly at the same time. Do I need a wireless ROUTER plus a wireless card for the laptop or Do I need a wireless ACCESS POINT plus a wireless card for the laptop. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Wireless router. A wireless access point is added to an existing wired router to add wireless capability.
