Right now I have a Motorola surfboard cable modem, a Dell 8300 desktop, and a Gateway MT6848 laptop. What would be the best way to connect both computers to the internet?
If I get a wireless router, I would probably have to buy a wireless adapter for the desktop. If I went the way of a wired router it would be cheaper, but I would only be able to access the internet in one room of the house. In the fall I'll go to staying at a dorm bringing my laptop, but leaving behind the family desktop. What's do you recommend that's best in the long run?

A wireless router would probably be the best way to go about things. You can still use a the desktop with an ethernet cable that links it to the wireless router, then have the notebook run of the wireless ability of the router. That way, the desktop stays where it is, and the notebook is free with its own Internet connection.

Thanks, I'll return the wired router I bought a few weeks ago.
What's the best step to take?
