I've checked what kind of Wifi card is within my laptop it's a Intel Wireless Wifi Link 5100. Does anyone know what kind of router I would need to go along with this so I could have a wifi network from laptop to desktop ? Also any opinions on these WiFi cards, are they good ?

You can use any wireless router with your card. It is a draft 802.11n (draft "N") card, and will work with every 802.11n/g router on the market. If you spend some time, you can read quite a few threads about the 5100 on this very board.

Super, now I have to read how to setup the Wifi Link with the router.

router SHOULD have a default name like dlink or linksys. when you do connect, make sure to go to the I.P. address of your router settings and put a password on it.
p.s. i use a D-link DIR-655 router (n-draft) and find it so much more reliable than the linksys draft-n that my dad bought. -
I just have to set it up on the router and then the Intel card within the laptop will find it ? Which of the following (2) besides #1, is equal to #1?
1. D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme Wireless Router - 300Mbps, 802.11n (Draft N), 4x Gigabit Ports
2. D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N Router - 300Mbps, 802.11n, 4-Ports
3. D-Link DIR-625 Wireless Router - 300Mbps, 802.11n (Draft N), 4-Port, RangeBooster Technology
4. TP-Link TL-WR941ND Wireless N Router - 300Mbps, 802.11n/g/b, 4 Port
5. Trendnet TEW-639GR 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router
Type of Wireless Router ?
