I've got a Netgear MA314 wireless router wired to the cable modem and PC plus a Netgear MA401 PCMCIA wireless card in the lappy. Works a treat (once I had upgraded the firmware on the router )

Thumbs up

I got a DLink 714 - works fine with my NTL cable - it has 4 wired ports & wireless - it also has a print server - so parallel out of the router & software to install on the PC's.
