You're selected hardware are fine but your description of the connection is slightly flawed. DSL (or adsl) is provided by connecting your phone line to a DSL modem. The modem is them connected via ethernet cable to the router. If you desire to connect both pc's wirelessly, you still need to consider connecting one with an ethernet cable initially (to the router) in order to properly set up the router. I don't think you'll have any trouble with the mouse and keyboard but 2.4GHz phones can be a real pain when using wireless. You should check your phones and consider replacing any 2.4GHz units.

Your dsl installation kit will also come with line filters for each phone. These will prevent static or cross talk in your phone lines.

Check the sticky threads in our Security area on how to Secure a Network for help in setting up a secure router.
