I need to set up wireless at home, I'm currently on ntlbroadband 10mbps and need to set it up for my desktop and laptop, my laptop is wireless enabled but my desktop isn't do I need to get a wireless card fitted or is there an easier way, and then what's the best/cheap router I should look to buy. And also is that all I'm going to need?

I normally have the desktop on a wire for instant ease of router management and the laptop (or any of the other computers for that matter) connected wirelessly.
I'd go for a Netgear, Linksys, US Robotics or 3Com for the router. AVOID BELKIN like plague and make sure you get a cable router not an ADSL router which has an ADSL modem built in. A cable modem plugs straight into your NTL set-top box or modem.
