[QUOTE="eric, post: 732857, member: 22327"] is that modem built in or do you have an external one that then connects to the existing computer via a network cable? if you have built-in, your best bet will be to get a stand alone modem and a wireless router (which typically can also work wired for the existing computer). if you already have an external modem, then all you need is the router. you do not have to get an apple one, any brand will do, both macs and pcs should be able to connect to pretty much any router. and if you do get an apple one, the PC should work on it as well. currently, i have a linksys router attached to a cable modem. my macbook and my wife's HP laptop both connect wirelessly with WPA encryption, and my PS3 is wired via ethernet (network) cable to the router.
