I am new at this networking stuff so any suggestions would help. I plan to get dsl from sbc and i've wanted to connect three computers so that all can share files and internet access with a wireless hardware. I've read all the networking forum about wireless networking and it seems all i need are:
1) A SBC modem provided from SBC
2) A wireless router
3) Three pci wireless or usb wireless cards
It all seem so simple but i know that there must be more to this. What else am i missing? Also i've read some forum about "access point" routers. What are those and do i really need it? One last question is what is the differences between pci wireless and a usb wireless card? Is it that one is stuck behind the computer while the other one (usb) can be directed to better location for better signaling from the wireless router?
