What would I need to setup a home wireless network? I have a cable modem, so I assume I would just plug the incoming cable to a wireless router. Then, would each of the PC's/Laptops need a wireless card to connect? What type of card. Sorry, so basic questions. I checked FAQ's and White Papers but didn't see anything. I'm going to Google this but thought I would post here also for any suggestions.

Thank you

Yes, you would need a wireless Router/Access Point. Each device you connect with will also need wireless (either built in or card). I would recommend going with 802.11G devices. Be sure to set up security to protect your computers. WPA2 is the best option.
