Wireless Network
I have a broadband connection on my main computer. I also have a laptop that I want to access the internet wireless.
Do I need another Modem Router or just a Wireless USB network adapter.

willow2670,
There are a couple of things to check first. Make sure the modem/router is wireless. If it's not you will need to get a wireless router. Check the laptop to see if it has a wireless network adapter. You didn't identify your laptop by model, but many current laptops come with an internal wireless network adapter. Look in Device Manager to see if a wireless network adapter is listed under the Network Adapters category.
If the modem/router is wireless and the laptop has a wireless network adapter, you are good to go and do not need any additional equipment.
